I'm holding on to nothing But this love for life Things really haven't turned out right, oh no We're running at the wrong speed Chasing our tails of time All God's children holding back the line Someday we're bound to wake up And any fool could make it happen Any fool could make it work All they need is some compassion Growing flowers in the earth Who's swimming, waving and drowning The silence grows more and more profound Oh baby, who, whose trip is this?
I won't be blinded The sun may be shining But there's black clouds of smoke arising Tell me who, whose trip is this? Oh tell me who, whose trip is this?
Standing still amidst the madness Gravity pulls you in It's time to question everything you see, mmm Who's to say we must be dreaming Believing we all are free 'Cause dreams are what we're gonna need Or else we'll never wake up And any fool could make it happen Any fool could make it work All they need is some compassion Growing flowers in the earth Who's swimming, waving and drowning The silence grows more and more profound Oh baby, who, whose trip is this?
Moonlighting, finally stopped fighting And it's patently all for nothing Tell me who, whose trip is this? Oh tell me who, whose trip is this?
It's not good enough To believe in change When attitudes remain the same Who, whose trip is this?
And I won't be rushed Or dealt a hand In somebody else's power plan Who, whose trip is this?
Won't somebody tell me 'cause I, I need to know now Whose trip is this after all? Whose trip is this?
Any fool can make it happen Can make it work All we need is some compassion And the will to learn
