Lyrics
What Road Are We On
(Joseph M Balistreri) ©2006
There's a lot of talk about the weather today
Something we done changed it for good
Still not sure if there's a problem
But it's getting pretty hot in my neighborhood
In a moment we could be forced to realize
That all we ever know is quickly gone
Lord help us to change
And help us to see
What Road We Are On
An act of God or an act of man
What is the difference from where we stand
Point the finger everywhere to score
Hindsight everybody has the cure
In a moment we are forced to realize
That there's nothing behind us and nothing before
Lord help us in the now
And lead us somehow
What Road Are We On
God help us be strong
To keep on keeping on
We give up all up to you now
What Road Are We On
We all breathe in the same air
We all drink from the same cup
We all eat from the same plate
And we all share in the same dump
In a moment we could be forced to realize
That we really all live in the same house
God help us to change
And help us to see
What road we are on
What road we are on
God help us be strong
To keep on keeping on
We give up all up to you now
What Road Are We On
