A popularity of invasion
Handed down through centuries
A force of arms called gentle persuasion
What have we learned from history?
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Human worth is so inexpensive
Compared to gold, the root of most wars
Subtract the tears from countless offenses
What is left but guns and scars?
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Well, as for me, I'm gonna keep lovin'
Cause it's the only sane thing to do
Cause I'm not into pushin' and shovin'
No confrontation, what have you...
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
A baby is cryin', a mother is dyin'
A leader is swearin' but no one is carin'
About apparently nothin'
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
I ain't tryin' to rule your mind A conscious obvserver trying to find A place on Earth where they heed the signs Beware of conflicts that ruin mankind If you want things the more better Withstand the tides of the bad weather The struggle thrives when we all gather Down at the bank of the soul river, yeah
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (apparently nothin', nothin' apparently)
[continue chorus behind ad lib]
Now tell me, what have learned? Tell me
What have really really really really learned?
If we keep our eyes on the prize
We can love
Cause this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Everywhere I go
I'm gonna let this little light of mine glow
Everywhere I go
I'm gonna let my light glow
See the light
Show ya light
