ben sollee - only a song lyrics
i wouldn’t make a sound if i wasn’t
so angry
i wouldn’t be running if there wasn’t so far
to go
i wouldn’t keep on if there wasn’t something
worth keeping
i want to believe that
this mountain can be moved
but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
i get a little scared when i’m driving through
the ghetto
there’s a part of me
that wants to hide;
there’s a part of me
that wants to move in. because even though
i grew up in the suburbs, i didn’t really grow
until i learned how so many others lived
but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
i’m digging, digging deep
in myself
but who needs a shovel
when you have a little boy like mine?
this ain’t the world
that i want to give him;
people racing around in cars
and cities you can’t even walk across
this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
i’ve been thinking about providence-
and craving a root beer float
i didn’t make these rules, but it’s come time for us
to row this boat!
and on the horizon i see windmills
spouting up in rows
there’s young folks farming, and a few
that are going to vote
but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
so why try?
why even sing at all?
i picture the harlem globetrotters dancing
like mosquitoes with a basketball
because there is beauty in freedom
and folks like me came over on boats
flew in on planes, crawled under fences
and fought wars, just to find a place
to be free
but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
