I turned on the news today
Same old thing as yesterday
Seems that another storm
Is brewing overseas
And I wonder
When will the sun shine again?
And here we are waiting for this to pass
Here we are waiting for pain to fade
Here we are waiting for this to pass
Here we are waiting
Turned on the news today
Children running in the streets
Panic in their eyes and in their feet
What kind of poverty?
When you can't keep your children safe?
Then I see, it was right down my street
And here we are waiting for this to pass
Here we are waiting for pain to fade
Here we are waiting for this to pass
Here we are waiting
And I wanna say goodbye
Bye, bye
Turned on the news today
I can't believe what I saw
Don't know why I keep turning away
And hoping someday it'll all be gone
And here I am waiting for this to pass
Here we are waiting for pain to fade
Here I am waiting for this to pass
Here we are waiting
And I wanna say goodbye
Bye, bye
