GOING TO TAKE A LOT

Gene Eric Mann

I’m very pleased with how the lead guitar break came out on this Political Folk song. The rocket being launched at the song’s intro is Apollo 11, carrying Neil Armstrong and company to Luna.

GOING TO TAKE A LOT

I’ve been watching for some time
Have a few things to say
Seems like we have lost control
We can’t go on this way

I’ll express my deep concern
Have a sad song for you
If we had our lives in line
People! What could we do?

Going to take a lot of love
To turn this thing around
Going to take a lot of work
To keep us standing sound
To keep us on the ground
To get us off the ground
To keep us hangin’ ’round

There are questions to be raised
Answers heard in music
Too much waste in building walls
Time lost in every brick

And perhaps we’ve gone too far
To make the music right
Or perhaps we’re out too deep
Is there no hope in sight?

But perhaps we ought to try
To get back to the heart
Or perhaps we’re in the cold
Is there no way to start?
