It Gonna Come Songtext

von Melody Gardot

See dat man sittin' in front of the border line
He ain't got the time to argue whats yours and what is mine
See dat man holdin' his hand out in desperation
He don't see salvation no god and sure no nation

We all workin' for the means to the end of our situation
We all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication and run
Said it gonna come, it gonna come

See dat man sittin' in front of the Jewelry store
He can't walk no more he just too damn poor
See dat man holdin' his eyes from the glarin' sun
He ain't got no one his hopes all been undone

We all workin' for the means to the end of our situation
We all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication and run
Said it gonna come, it gonna come

Nothin' good comes from nothin'
Nothin' comes from nothin' good
Why you spend the whole day bluffin'
Come on man do what you should
What you mean the world ain't easy
What you mean the world ain't mine
Last I checked there were no price tags
Hangin' on them shady pines
What you say when you say nothin'
What you mean when you say lies
Politician tell me somethin'
What you got behind them eyes, cause

We all workin' for the means to the end of our situation
We all hopin' for the day that the powers see abdication and run
Said it gonna come, Lord Said it gonna come

(see dat, see dat, see dat man)
