What Have We Done
Oh, can you see, oh can you see
What we have done, what we have done
Life could’ve been so sweet
If only we were half we claimed to be
They say that the fallin’ lives
Were for the peace of man
But I couldn’t believe my ears
I fear we might have been
Too bold within’ our sphere
What have we done?
Oh, can you see oh can you see
What we have done, what we have done
Flights of fancy were our dreams
And now we face reality
Can answers still be found to our misery?
There are those who say it can
I fear an endless cause
Has brought too many wars
Where is our sanity
There’s no humanity. There’s no humanity
I can’t sort it out
Where will it end if it will end
How did we do today
How did we do today
Oh, can you see, oh can you see
What we have done, what we have done
Life could’ve been so sweet
If only we were half we claimed to be
Can answers still be found to our misery?
There are those who say it can
I fear an endless cause
Has brought too many wars
Where is our sanity
There’s no humanity. There’s no humanity
No humanity, no humanity, no humanity
