If You Could Hear Me Now

if you could hear me now if you could hear me somehow
if you could hear the words that i'm thinkin'
bout a world on fire
good thoughts lost in the mire
and it seems like no one's listenin'

if you could see me now if you could see me somehow
if you could see the world where we're livin'
where the money's in charge
and the black coal barge
and there's no more fish to be fishin'

if you could hear me now if you could hear me somehow
if you could hear what my soul is screamin'
that we are one
in the land of the sun
and there's no more fear of dreamin'

if you could know me now if you could know me somehow
if you could know the pain that i'm feelin'
if you know my heart 's bein' torn apart
by the way good folks is treated

if could see me now if you could see me somehow
if you could see the things that I'm seein'
that the people win
and prosper in the end
and leave somethin' to believe in

if you could hear me now if you could hear me somehow
if you could hear the thoughts that i'm spinnin'
that time is short
by any report
and there's more to do than singin'

if you know me now if you know me somehow
if you know the things that I'm readin'
that peace is stalled
without prosperity for all
let the flowers and the the weeds in

if you hear me now if you hear me somehow
if you hear the words that I'm hopin'
that we win the race
against time and space
and the whole world is wide open
