## Lyrics
[verse]
Brother came home from a long time away
Found a city that had lost its way
Mothers worried in the doorways at night
Children asking why nobody stands for right

[verse]
Too many voices shouting, no one hears
Too many years of piling up the fears
We got to find a better way to live
Got to learn to listen, learn to give

[chorus]
Tell me what's the trouble, what's it all about
Tell me why we're screaming when we ought to talk it out
There's got to be an answer, there's got to be a way
Somebody tell me, what's going on today

[verse]
Sister on the corner holding up a sign
Asking for a future, asking for a sign
Old men in the office turning deaf ears
While the young ones carry all the weight and tears

[chorus]
Tell me what's the trouble, what's it all about
Tell me why we're screaming when we ought to talk it out
There's got to be an answer, there's got to be a way
Somebody tell me, what's going on today

[bridge]
Father to father, we don't need to fight
Mother to mother, hold your children tight
Let's find a way to ease the troubled mind
Before we all run out of time

[chorus]
Tell me what's the trouble, what's it all about
Tell me why we're screaming when we ought to talk it out
There's got to be an answer, there's got to be a way
Somebody tell me, what's going on today
