Going Nowhere

It takes a smile to form a laugh A tear to make you cry it takes some pride to make you jealous And some booze to stop being so shy It takes a spark to start a fire A finger to turn the page it takes some quiet to settle down And a question to make change It takes a thought to form a question It's a key to unlock the cage of thought that keeps you from doing What you've always wanted And you wonder why you're doing nowhere You think that what you see is all that is real You wonder why you're going nowhere You say you know enough to live It takes some fear to make you hate Hate to make you rage that rage can cause the pain And damn that's such a shame It takes a heart to feel the love And love to make that change remember you're name Don't spoil it with hate Disagreements will arise but have no fear A little empathy to see humanity for all it is And you wonder why you're doing nowhere You think that what you see is all that is real You wonder why you're going nowhere You say you know enough to live
