I wonder where the love has gone And is there any left I wonder where the laughter went It haunts my every breath

I wonder where the children are Their toys are strewn about I wonder where the confidence is For my heart is filled with doubt

I can't begin to express to you The deepening pain inside my heart For we've grown so selfish, we're so undeserving Of the love that God imparts

I wonder where we'll be one day When the gold comes to an end When the water recedes but mankind still bleeds Will the "Saints Go Marching In"?

I wonder about the elderly Left alone to die And why those supposed to care for them Deny all blame and now cry out, "Why?"

I wonder all these things And I wonder about myself I wonder what I can do to help Or am I no different than anyone else

I wonder where the flowers are There's too much water for them to bloom The birds aren't singing, the silence is ringing And it's the sound of impending doom

I wonder what we'll do Now that our mortality we're forced to face Will we grow and change and stop acting deranged Or will we spiral into chaotic disgrace

I wonder if you're wondering too "Will we be blessed with more joyous scenes?" Or will every picture bring back to memory The tragedy of New Orleans . . .

I Wonder
