When I wrote and recorded this song shortly after the 2004 presidential election and eerily foreshadowing Hurricane Katrina, little did I dream it would apply even more in 2017...
Lyrics
I look out across the land
land of the free
I saw it there yesterday
but now it's gone
I walk out across the sand
our home by the sea
has all been washed away
Does anybody know
where did it go?
Now all that I find are broken pieces
When did those seeds we sowed
cease to grow?
Whenever it rains it only freezes
I listen and all I hear
are cries for life
by those who deliver death
and close their doors
I watch the truth disappear
wrong pass for right
It doesn't make any sense
Does anybody know
where did it go?
I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason
When did those seeds we sowed
cease to grow
or will they grow back another season?
Someday we'll practice what we're preaching
Someday we'll live what we've been teaching
our hearts and minds finally meeting
Does anybody know
where did we go?
Soon we will find the missing pieces
and all those seeds we sowed
again will grow
when all of the coldness finally ceases
