It Gonna Come

See that, see that, see that, see that man See that, see that, see that, see that man See that man sittin' in front of the border line He ain't got the time to argue what's yours and what is mine See that man holdin' his hand out in desperation He don't see salvation, no God and sure no nation We all workin' for the means to the end of our situation We all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication and run Said it gonna come, said it it gonna come See that man See that man sittin' in front of the jewelry store He can't walk no more, he just too damn poor See that man holdin' his eyes from the glarin' sun He ain't got noone, his hopes all been undone We all workin' for the means to the end of our situation We all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication and run Said it gonna come, said it gonna come See that See that See that See that man Nothin' good comes from nothin' Nothin' comes from nothin' good Why you spend the whole day bluffin'? Come on man, do what you should What you mean, the world ain't easy? What you mean, the world ain't mine? Last I checked, there were no price tags Hangin' on them shady pines What you say when you say nothin'? What you mean when you say lies? Politician, tell me somethin' What you got behind them eyes 'Cause we all workin' for the means to the end of our situation We all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication and run Said it gonna come, Lord said it gonna come See that, see that, see that man See that, see that (See) that man (See) that man (See) that man (See) that man Look to our brother if you can (see) Look to our brother if you can (see) See that man (see) See that See See that See that See that man What does it mean There's no single answer except to say --- It Gonna Come - Melody Gardot
