It Gonna Come - Melody Gardot

See that man sittin' in front of the border line

He ain’t got the time to argue what’s yours and what is mine

See that 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

I said it gonna come, I said it gonna come

See that man sittin' in front of the Jewelry store

He can’t walk no more, he just too damn poor

See that 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

I said it gonna come, I said 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

I said it gonna come darling, I said it gonna come
