I Don't Know

I woke up Monday and I didn't check the news Hardly seems to matter anymore I fall so easily into the gloom and doom My back and shoulders feeling sore I know that that's just what they want They jibe and bully, scream and taunt But what am I supposed to do? Hey I don't know I keep on walking in the sun trying to unfurl How to hold the deep injustice in this world Hey I don't know Hey I don't know I go out wandering in the woods to breathe the air The eucalyptus dropping leaves I lay beside an oak and catch it in my stare I wonder if a forest grieves For what it feels is yet to come The planet warming in the sun And what is there for it to do? Hey I don't know I keep on walking in the sun trying to unfurl How to hold the deep injustice in this world Hey I don't know Hey I don't know And there's nobody on the way to save us Yeah there's nobody on the way I watch the evening gather gold into the trees The clouds turn purple, red, and pink I know the colors come from ashes on the breeze But it's still beautiful, I think I'm gonna keep on making jokes I'm gonna march with other folks And try to trust that we'll get through I guess that's all that we can do Hey I don't know I keep on walking in the sun trying to unfurl How to hold the deep injustice in this world Hey I don't know Hey I don't know
