Whose Trip Is This? (Original Mix)

I'm holding on to nothing
But this love for life
Things really haven't turned out right
Oh, no
We're running at the wrong speed
Chasing our tails of time
All God's children holding back the line
Someday we're bound to wake up
And any fool could make it happen
Any fool could make it work
All they need is some compassion
Growing flowers in the earth
Who's swimming, waving and drowning
The silence grows more and more profound
Oh baby, who, whose trip is this

The sun may be shining
But there's black clouds of smoke arising
Tell me who, whose trip is this
Oh, tell me who, whose trip is this

Standing still amidst the madness
It's time to question everything you see, mmm
Who's to say we must be dreaming
Believing we all are free
Cause dreams are what we're gonna need
Or else we'll never wake up
And any fool could make it happen
Any fool could make it work
All they need is some compassion
Growing flowers in the earth
Who's swimming, waving and drowning
The silence grows more and more profound
Oh baby, who, whose trip is this

Moonlighting, finally stopped fighting
And it's patently all for nothing
Oh tell me who, whose trip is this

It's not good enough
To believe in change
When attitudes remain the same

And I won't be rushed
Or dealt a hand
In somebody else's power plan
Who, whose trip is this

I need to know now
Who, whose trip is this
After all
