Say! Can You See

can we see what's going on

can we find a way

to bring peace and love

here today

can we find a way to conquer hate

we don't need to escalate conflict

can we stop senseless violence

can we stop mothers from crying

can we find a way

to bring some understanding

here today

you tell me what's going on

I'll tell you what's going on

can we see where we went wrong

can we see the errors of our ways

today

can we deliver our children

from an early grave

can we see what's being done

to our daughters and sons

can we see our contributions to the pain

can we see war is not the answer to peace

leaders and their violent policies

breeds more suffering

can we resolve societal problems

instead of resorting to aggression

we don't need no more oppression

can we find the answer to the questions

"where is God"

can we not be afraid to ask

"where is our God "

we got to find a way to wake the

WHAKAPAPA in us

our strength is in know thyself

can we unplug for a day week month

can we log out

without logging back into

the propaganda

can we stop feeding the machine

starving us depriving us of

deeper connections

you tell me what's going on

I'll tell you what's going on
