I’ve Seen a Lot of Things
lyrics and music by Brad Pouleson copyright 2019

I’ve seen a lot of things
I’ve seen some crazy things
Some things I’ve never seen before
Some people out there
Are acting strangely
Like they’ve never been here before

The world is full of people
Doing different things
Things different than before
Some of them are good and
Some of them are…
Signs of fear and signs of war

But I know that you’re with me
We’ll stick together on our way
And if you’re standing with me
We’ll make tomorrow better than today

I’ve felt a lot of love but
I’ve seen a lot of pain
Come on the heels of laughter
Some people are saying things
Saying hurtful things
You gotta wonder what they’re after

Haven’t you heard it’s a
Battle of words and
Most of them are lies
If money turns your world and
One day you find your world is
Upside down, well it’s no surprise

But you can come along with me
We’ll stick together on our way
And if you’re standing with me
We’ll make tomorrow better than today

There’s people in the streets
Holding up their signs
Shouting for their side to win
But some are carrying more than signs
And hate in their hearts
Waiting for the battle to begin

We’ve seen this all before
People make their war
Too scared to let a stranger in
But one thing I can say
That I know for sure
Without love no one can win

I’ve seen a lot of things
I’ve seen some crazy things
Some things I’ve never seen before
Some people out there
Are acting strangely
Like they’ve never been here before

But I know that you’re with me
We’ll stick together on our way
And if you’re standing with me
We’ll make tomorrow better than today
