Somehow, Somewhere, Somewhen, Somewhy

Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, somewhy
The world will change for you and I
The mean shall leave in a chartered boat
Across the deeps of space they'll float
And all that they shall leave behind,
The good the true the clean the kind
The poor shall rise up from their sheds
And take their place in silken beds
The sick shall be by health set free
And hospitals shall art stores be

Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, somewhy
The smog shall leave our tortured skies
The streams shall run with water clean
And slums shall sprout with forests green
The bison shall, with thunder, roam
In massive herds their former home
Dioxins, lead and DDT
Shall from our world forever flee
And Green House Gases shall disperse,
The Mother's balance reign on Earth

Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, somewhy
The children shall no longer cry
Their bellies full and raised in love
Without the scream, the hit, the snub
And valued shall their elders be
Those hoary heads give wisdom free
The White, the Brown, the Black, the Red
Shall leave their hatreds lying dead
Behind them in the road of life
And charge ahead, full free of strife

Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, somewhy
I may desert these dreams and lies
I may become a cynic true
And turn from skies of deepest blue
To grudgingly accept the fate
That comes to those who whine and hate
'Til then I'll hold that some sweet day
The world will find a better way
And pray that when my hope is gone
Some other fool will carry on
