What Have We Become?(Words & music : J. Williams)I left the way I came, With a head full of drink, and without your name. A tenderness best cold, There is a pirouetting head wind, Coming in, up through our souls. What have we become? What have we become? This is not the Grand Design, I had in my so-called enlightened mind. We opened up the wound, And went all the way to the peak too soon. And laughed throughout it all. No look of blame No look of shame The both of us came for the same. What have we become? What have we become? This is not the Grand Design, I had in my so-called enlightened mind Joe, don’t you know the story? Every generation does it better than the one before. The difference is as indifference does it in. Joe, don’t you know the story? Every generation does it better than the one before. The difference is we don’t keep score. What have we become? What have we become? This is not the Grand Design, I had in my so-called enlightened mind. © Once and Future Songs 2003 |
