A song addressing the frustration of watching disaster all around but not being able to do much about it.
- Paradise In Troubled Waters
- Words And Music By:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- Winter's Voice Had Barely Spoken
- Everyone Was Bummed And Broken
- Hangin' Onto Threads The Way We Do
- Shielding Eyes From TV Screens
- With African Starvation Scenes
- And Photographs In Magazines
- Of Things That Can't Seem True
- (Chorus)
- Paradise In Troubled Waters
- Situation Grim
- And We The Reckless Sons And Daughters
- Spread The Luck So Thin
- Oh, The Gross Results And Chain Reaction
- Too Late Understood
- Leave Us In Embarrassed Silence
- Wishing That We Could
- Make The Difference, See The Light
- Carry The Flag, Lead The Fight
- Save The Whales, Save The Seals
- Save The Trees And Birds And Fields
- And Save Each Other
- (end Chorus)
- So We Read The News With Helpless Eyes
- And Look For Ways To Compromise
- But Mostly, We Just Do The Best We Can
- Is It Just A Part Of What We Are
- To Want Too Much And Go Too Far
- And Contemplate With No Regard
- What We Don't Understand?
- (Chorus)
