SOMETHIN’ WRONG IS GOIN’ ON  

THE WIND BLEW IN THIS MORNIN’,

ACROSS A BARREN SKY.

I’M WAITING FOR THE RAIN TO FALL,

THE WELL IS ALMOST DRY.

WE CAN’T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER,

THE CROPS HAVE ALL BUT DIED.

SOMETHIN’ WRONG IS GOIN’ ON,

FROM THE EARTH UP TO THE SKY.

A DESPERATE FRIEND JUST CALLED ME,

FROM A THOUSAND MILES AWAY.

HE SAID THE RAIN KEEPS FALLIN’ DOWN,

AND HIS HOUSE WAS SWEPT AWAY.

THE CLOUDS JUST KEEP A POURIN’,

THE RIVER’S ON THE RISE.

SOMETHIN’ WRONG IS GOIN’ ON,

FROM THE EARTH UP TO THE SKY.

THE AMAZON IS DYING,

THERE’S A BIG HOLE IN THE SKY.

OIL IN THE OCEAN,

AND WE SIT AND WONDER WHY.

THE ANSWER AIN’T IN HEAVEN,

WE HOLD IT DEEP INSIDE.

SOMETHIN’ WRONG IS GOIN’ ON,

FROM THE EARTH UP TO THE SKY.

I READ THE MORNIN’ PAPER,

AN EARTHQUAKE HIT L.A.

FAMINE DOWN IN AFRICA,

HURRICANE IN THE BAY.

AND STILL WE LOOK TO HEAVEN,

INSTEAD OF DEEP INSIDE.

SOMETHIN’ WRONG IS GOIN’ ON,

FROM THE EARTH UP TO THE SKY.
