paroles de chanson How Did We Get Here? - Leo Sayer

How did we get here?
What does it mean?
Everyone′s hiding
And no one can breathe
While they search for the person
Whose head hangs in shame
Who opened the test tube
That holds all the blame
But the shame of it all
Is that he doesn't exist, so tell me
Why does it feel like
There is something we′ve missed?
We're caught in a crossfire
Between fiction and facts
They claim we've moved forward
When we′ve only gone back

Locked down and forgotten
We′re all dazed and confused
As if life is a game you can play
But you know you're gonna lose

Is this all that there is?
Do we know y′all how to live?
Is our freedom worth the price
Of countless deaths, countless lives?

A people in union
Are not a people in chains
They are finding their voices
By using their brains
But do people of color
Just get used and abused?
So that people in power
Are still able to choose
And why does money and violence
Create hunger and greed?
And this human condition
Require so much need
Tell me, where are we going?
Oh, where are we bound?
Have we really learned nothing?
Thrown out all of the gifts
That we've found

Can we change, find the source?
Rediscover all we′ve lost
Pull back fast, lest we sink
Arrest this fall into the brink

Change must come
Change must come
Change must come
Change must come

Hey, we can defeat this
And we can resist
Love and understanding
We will persist
With kindness and grace
We walk hand in hand
'Cause it′s with love in our hearts
Tonight, together
We take this stand

Change must come
Change must come
