Ah the promises we made
In days gone by
Ah such changes could be made If we just tried
Who would have thought that we would never
Even begin to find a way
How this old world might come together
Someday
Are we heading in the wrong direction
Looking for a place to meet
Hanging on a cross connection
Waiting for a chance to speak
And the reasons come
And the reasons go
And the chances are I'll bet
There may never be a real good reason
There's never been a good one yet
And all the vision
All the wisdom
All the knowing
What went wrong
Are simple answer soon forgotten
When the troubles are all gone
Who would have thought that we would never
Even begin to find a way
How this old world might come together
Someday
Are we heading in the wrong direction
Looking for a place to meet
Hanging on a crossed connection
Waiting for a chance to speak
And the reasons come
And the reasons go
And the chances are I'll bet
There may never be a real good reason
There's never been a good one yet
