lyrics

Where’s the World Goin’ To
Written by Johnsmith &Tom Prasada-Rao

Where’s the world goin’ to?
Where’s it off to now?
I guess we’ll find out in time
If we can turn this thing around
Somewhere, someway, somehow

Some say it’s goin’ to the dogs
To hell in a handbasket, a ship runnin’ aground
Some say we might be headed for the light
Guess we’ll see what the fates allow
Somewhere, someway, somehow

Nothin’ stays the same
Blue skies turn to gray
Every sunrise takes its bow
A ray of hope can be found

So we hope and pray
Love will show the way
And turn our mistakes around
And lay tomorrow down

Where’s the world goin’ to?
Where’s it off to now?
Everyday let us find a way
Even though we don’t know how
To lift the furrowed brow
‘Cuz the world is comin’ round
Somewhere, someway, somehow
