It All Comes Back Around
Trey Lorenz Lyrics

Mmmh, well, well...
A reflective and contemplative opening statement to introduce the song's themes.

We've come so far
Humanity has made significant progress in various areas since the beginning of civilization.

From where we started from
Acknowledging how far humanity has progressed from earlier times of struggle and adversity.

Seems by now we've learned
As humanity has progressed, it appears that we have amassed collective knowledge and experience.

What's with all the talk of guns and bombs
Expressing confusion, concern, and puzzlement towards the excessive emphasis on military and explosive matters in current world affairs.

Most people's trust is earned, yeah
The majority of people need time and reason before they can fully trust others or their words, even when there is compelling evidence or societal norms working against this.

Babies dying in the name of war
Addressing the moral and physical consequences of war, where even the most innocent and vulnerable members of society have become victims.

The masses cry for peace
Despite conflict and turmoil, the majority of the people desire peace and stability across the globe.

Money's sovereign in religious land
Observing the increasingly prominent role that economic considerations play in religious and spiritual practices and institutions.

Watching blasphemy increase
Observing the rise of social norms that challenge established religious principles or practices, leading to potential conflicts and controversy.

Somebody teach me
Requesting guidance and a greater understanding of what is happening around them.

Somebody tell me if I'm wrong
Asking for a counter-perspective or opinion to enhance knowledge, self-awareness, or challenge personal biases.

Somebody be honest
Asking for open and truthful communication, even if it is difficult or uncomfortable to hear.

Cause truth is hard to come along
Acknowledging that objective truth is complex, multifaceted, and often difficult to ascertain or agree upon.

Is it gonna be alright
Expressing doubt and uncertainty about the future or current situation, wondering if things will improve or worsen.

Or can the love in man be found, knowing
Reflecting upon humanity's potential capacity to love one another regardless of differences, despite skepticism or cynicism.

Who are we gonna turn to
Contemplating the lack of clear solutions or viable options for addressing social, political, or economic issues of concern.

When there's nowhere left to turn
Highlighting a sense of desperation, hopelessness, or perceived dead-ends in attempting to address complex problems that defy easy solutions.

There are too many hurting
Acknowledging the widespread pain and suffering experienced by individuals and communities facing various challenges and traumas.

And too many unconcerned
Expressing frustration and disappointment in those who are either indifferent or apathetic to the plight of others.

The time has come
A sense of urgency and necessity to act or address issues that require attention and change.

To heed the helpless cries
To listen and respond appropriately to the needs and concerns of those who are marginalized, ignored, or otherwise voiceless.

Of the voices in despair
Acknowledging and empathizing with those who are struggling or experiencing serious difficulties, depression, or hopelessness.

Hear the mourning deep within the hopeless life
Sensing the profound sadness and grief that permeates the lives of those who are struggling, often silently.

Waiting for someone who cares
Expressing a longing or yearning for genuine support, empathy, or compassion from others who are capable of providing it.

Can we bring love back around my people
Asking for a collective effort to generate love, compassion, and empathy towards others - the potential for which is believed inherent within human nature.
