I wish we had a crystal ball
That we could ask what we should do
A Technicolor movie featuring
And if the rearview mirror showed us
How and where we went astray
Or would we choose to turn away?
What if the Earth refused to turn
Until it felt we knew its worth?
If rain refused to fall and the sun hid
Like some child who had been hurt?
Maybe the truth is only found
In ancient scribblings on a wall
That told the story of the people
And what brought about their fall
Well, I'm not here to make you cry
Wake you up or change your mind
You know life is what it is
But there's so much more than this
Maybe the way it was has changed
But you and me, we are the same
