Lyrics
DON'T IT DEPEND © Earl.C.Webb 2013-12-19
There was this land that used to be oh so peaceful
Where the good folks lived their lives so free
Then some cat came along and said this ain't your land
This is all mine now, this all belongs to me
And they fought about it, and they'll fight about it till the cows come home
What do you know?
Cause' things just ain't that simple
You see everything as black and white
Wrong is wrong and right is right
Day is always day and night is night
So tell me your truth
Give me your proof
Show me how you're so right and I'm so wrong
Don't it depend which side of the road you're standing on?
From where you stand, you see a man with nothing to give
You see somebody who lost it all, who got no further to fall
Who's even lost the will to live
From where I am, I can only look up
So I look up and what do I see? I see a hand; I see a hand reaching out to me
What do you know?
Cause' things just ain't that simple
You see everything as black and white
Wrong is wrong and right is right
Day is always day and night is night
So tell me your truth
Give me your proof
Show me how you're so right and I'm so wrong
Don't it depend which side of the road you're standing on?
