Can We Find a Reason? Lyrics

Is there anyone out there
Willing to try ?
Or are we satisfied with just getting by ?

We've hurt mother nature
Can't you see her she's crying
We've robbed and we've raped her and taken her child

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ?

We're fighting more battles
Everyday we're alive
We should be rejoicing
But instead we cry

This world's so polluted
You would think we were blind
We poison our children
Before they're defined

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ? yeah

Excuse me for saying
'Cause I've never been shy
But if we don't stop this
We sho'nuff goin' die

Yes I hope we can make it
'Cause this river's run dry
Now our only battle
Will be to survive, hey

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Come on and think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ?
Yeah it's the new millennium

Yeah yeah yeah
Can we find a reason
To live another season ?

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
To live another season ?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
It's the new millennium
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
Can we find a reason
To live another season ?

I think how it's strange how artists have been writing songs like this, telling you to make a change, or at least to change yourself, for 50 years (I decided to start with "While my guitar gently weeps", even tho there's tons more songs like this before the 60's) yet the world is still the same. It's obvious because artists are still writing about it. I don't care when this song came out, its amazing, and its practically yelling in people's ears "DON'T RUIN OUR WORLD", but look where we are. Everybody's still procrastinating when it comes to using alternative energy. For example: Somebody says, "I'm not going to use solar energy because its expensive and only works in the day time." (I'm quoting a real person, by the way.) Obviously, alternative energy sources are going to be expensive because NOBODY IS USING THEM. It'll get cheaper when people actually use it. Don't just sit ther and wait, because that's what your neighbor's doing, and that's what their cousin's doing, and that's what their cousin's fifth cousin is doing, and on and on and on. And also, when it cmoes to the solar energy only working in the day, I had a project in school where we had to design a house that uses solar energy and can still run at night. I suggested using candles, and handheld fans, and BOOKS instead of some crazy alternative energy powered T.V. I got a B+, so I must've done sometihing right.

Oh, and this song is epic. I've listened to it twice in the past three minutes. yeah, I know that it's five minutes long, so that's impossible, but it's not. I did it. And I should probably vent about problems w/ the environment in my journal. Oh well. It's not like anybody will read this or anything.

@Mimimeemi I appreciated the heck out of this =D Great Lenny album

@Mimimeemi " so that's impossible, but it's not. I did it. " Too funny xDDDD

We're polluting the earth, we're fighting blind, and there is no reason for it. We're all going to die soon if we keep this up. It's the new millenium folks, come on, aren't we more enlightened?

This is what he's saying. A bit trite if you ask me, but I think I know what his political views are. Ha ha...
