Every box, every car
Counting wishes on a star
And every sidewalk, every streetblock
Every house with room to spare
And I don't know what's goin' on
What's goin' on? What's goin' on
But this is what's breakin' my heart
I'm covered by what I fit in
This is what's breakin' my heart
And I don't know where to begin
All these children, all these mothers
Sister brother shake in the night
And all these wealthy people helping
Only themselves tonight
And I don't know what's goin' on
What's goin' on? What's goin' on
But this is what's breakin' my heart
I'm covered by what I fit in
This is what's breakin' my heart
And I don't know where to begin
This is no charity case
The tears on my face fall on black lace
And this is the world today
It's sad to say, but take your place
And I don't know what's goin' on
But this is what's breakin' my heart
I'm covered by what I fit in
This is what's breakin' my heart
And I don't know where to begin
Every box, every car
Counting wishes on a star
And every sidewalk, every streetblock
And I don't know where to begin
