Lyrics

You?d Think By Now
Music & Lyrics by Thom Sessa

Ever stop to think, really think and wonder why
We have come so far, we have learned to fly
Just take a look and look at all these lives
We have seen so much but we?ve been so blind

You?d think by now we?d try heaven
You?d think by now we?d find a better way
You?d think by now we?ve lived in this hell long enough
You?d think by now that we would change

I try to find a life like somethin? on a TV screen
It helps to take the pain away
I close my eyes and start to see
That this ain?t the way it?s supposed to be

Somethin?s changing cause somethings ain?t the same
We get our chance each day, but then we pass it by again
This world keeps turning, we keep learning so we say
We forget about our past and got to do it all again

You?d think by now we?d try heaven
You?d think by now we?d find a better way
You?d think by now we?ve lived in this hell long enough
You?d think by now that we would change

Once upon a time the world was young, and we had our minds
We lived in our hearts and saw through our eyes
It seems like the more we get the more we throw away
Tell me how can this be love when love don?t ever act this way

You?d think by now we?d try heaven
You?d think by now we?d find a better way
You?d think by now we?ve lived in this hell long enough
You?d think by now that we would change
(Repeat)

You?d think by now we?d change
You?d think by now we?d find our way
You?d think by now we?d think somehow
You?d think by now we?d think
You?d think by now we?d think somehow
You?d think by now we?d think
