Topic: No End in Sight

No End in Sight By Jeff Gilpin


May 7th, 2007






[Am]Why do we ignore our [G]people’s voice


[Am]They’re loud enough for all to [D]hear


[Am]Why do we ignore our [G]people’s voice


We’re [D]not sure what to [G]do I [Am]fear


[D]Our people are not saying we’re [Am]bad


[D]Our people are not saying we’re always [G]right


[D]Our people are saying what we’re [Am]trying isn’t working


And [D]right now there [G]is no end in [Am]sight


[Am]Why do we let the [G]killing go on


[Am]When killing seems not to mat[D]ter


[Am]Our young men and women are just [G]targets


And our [D]rich get [G]fatter and fat[Am]ter


[D]Our people are not saying we’re [Am]bad


[D]Our people are not saying we’re always [G]right


[D]Our people are saying what we’re [Am]trying isn’t working


And [D]right now there [G]is no end in [Am]sight


[Am]How many sons and daughters must a [G]mother lose


[Am]How many more of our children lose their [D]parent


[Am]When can we say that [G]enough is enough?


[D]How much more [G]life will be mis[Am]spent?


[D]Our people are not saying we’re [Am]bad


[D]Our people are not saying we’re always [G]right


[D]Our people are saying what we’re [Am]trying isn’t working


And [D]right now there [G]is no end in [Am]sight


[Am]Can’t we just say [G]enough is enough



[Am]Can’t we bring our own back home [D]now


[Am]Can’t we let others fight for them[G]selves for a change


[D]Help them help them[G]selves some [Am]how


[D]Our people are not saying we’re [Am]bad


[D]Our people are not saying we’re always [G]right


[D]Our people are saying what we’re [Am]trying isn’t working


And [D]right now there [G]is no end in [Am]sight


Our [Am]people voted for us to [G]represent


Our [Am]people let us be their [D]voice


Now our [Am]people can’t [G]understand


[D]Why we’re not [G]giving them a [Am]choice


[D]Our people are not saying we’re [Am]bad


[D]Our people are not saying we’re always [G]right


[D]Our people are saying what we’re [Am]trying isn’t working


And [D]right now there [G]is no end in [Am]sight


So [Am]now our [G]people have to wait


Our [Am]people can not act quite [D]yet


But as [Am]more of our people lose their [G]children


Our [D]people will [G]never for[Am]get


[D]Our people are not saying we’re [Am]bad


[D]Our people are not saying we’re always [G]right


[D]Our people are saying what we’re [Am]trying isn’t working


And [D]right now there [G]is no end in [Am]sight


[D]Our people are saying they’re [Am]fed up


[D]Our people want to right the [G]wrong


[D]Our people are scared they may be a [Am]little too late


And [D]pray we haven’t [G]waited too [Am]long

Re: No End in Sight

Very much intrigued by this one, Jeff.  Seems to be the first overtly political lyric you have posted - or maybe it is not political . . . very interesting song about a very troubling topic.

I posted one regarding the wars a while back, but I fear it got plowed under in the recent move to new servers - mine was entitled "Sanctimonious Profiteering Fear-Mongers Out!"  Will try to locate or re-post my take on this same dilemma.  James

Re: No End in Sight

I'm not really a political person but I was hopeful something would have happened before my son went back over. It's would be different if it was me going. I'm okay with that but when it's your son going for the second time...I just don't know who if anybody is listening to what I believe is the majority of the people.
I'd love to see your song on this James, thanks.

Re: No End in Sight

Hey Jeff,

I started playing this nice and gentle by finger picking and before I realised it I was bashing it our for the whole neighbourhood to hear. A real rousing one this time.

Thank you,

Roger
