A Whole Lotta Soul - Tab Benoit

What’s the matter with the place we live in?

Did Mother Nature get it wrong?

A rusted delta in the name of changing

And dig it till it’s dead and gone

Oh, what you gonna tell the children

What you gonna tell the trees

What you gonna tell the spirit

When the heart of the bayou bleed?

Well, there’s a whole lotta something around here

There’s been a whole lotta giving around here

We’ve seen a whole lotta hurting around here

But there’s a whole lotta soul around here

Listen

Maybe we should move the mountains

Maybe we should drain the sea

And wash away the desert

No, that makes no sense to me

But looking it from the outside

It sure don’t look that hard

But tell me how you gonna feel

When I come digging up your backyard?

There’s a whole lotta something around here

There’s a whole lotta giving around here

We’ve seen a whole lotta hurting around here

But there’s a whole lotta soul around here

There’s a whole lotta something around here

And there’s a whole lotta giving around here

We’ve seen a whole lotta hurting around here

But there’s a whole lotta soul around here

Come on
