We Could Go To The Moon


sometimes the answer
is in the question
sometimes the question 
is torn in two

sometimes the river
bends in the direction
in the direction
heading straight for you

i got to believe
we can do better
i got to believe
we're not as bad as that
i got to believe 
given half a chance
i got to believe
we could go to the moon

there's men with their guns
there on the corner
they got riled up
don't know what to do

one's heading for Denver
one's going to his mother's
one's bleeding on the concrete
that much is true

i got to believe
we can do better
i got to believe
we're not as bad as that
i got to believe 
given half a chance
i got to believe
we could go to the moon

we used to say hello
as a sign of friendship
we used to say goodbye
when it was time to go

we got ourselves dilemmas
too many to ponder
we got ourselves a failure
that much i know

i got to believe
we can do better
i got to believe
we're not as bad as that
i got to believe 
given half a chance
i got to believe
we could go to the moon

sometimes the answer
is in the question
sometimes the question 
is torn in two

sometimes the river
bends in the direction
in the direction
heading straight for you

i got to believe
we can do better
i got to believe
we're not as bad as that
i got to believe 
given half a chance
i got to believe
we could go to the moon
