Lyrics
Sometimes late at night
Wonder why the world ain't right
Patterns keep repeating
The story's still the same
People pointing fingers, it's a shame
Sometimes late at night
Wonder why the world's lost sight
Of those who came before us
Who tried to end the curse
Of leaving folks behind a little worse
Sometimes late at night
Wish that we could all see the light
That's hidden by confusion
Cause we don't understand
The truth of what it takes to be a man
Sometimes late at night
I think about these things and I write
Words fall like embers
That quickly burn the page
Sure is hard to get some sleep these days
Time ain't like a river, all great rivers bend
Flow into the ocean, where they end
Time stops for no one, that arrow never turns
You'd think with all this knowledge, we would learn
We would learn
