Apparently Nothin’ (Soul River) Songtext
von Young Disciples

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 offences
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 crying
A mother is dying
A leader is swearing
But no one is caring
About, apparently nothing

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 trying to rule your mind
A conscious observer trying to find
A place on earth where they heed the signs
Beware of conflicts that ruin mankind


If you want things 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

Now tell me, what have we learnt? tell me
What have we really, really, really learnt? (If we keep on lying to...)

(Apparently nothin', nothin′ apparently)
Then we can (Rise, way above these circumstance)
(Apparently nothin', nothin′ apparently) (Hmmm, that's it)
(Apparently nothin′, nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin' (Apparently nothin′, nothin′ apparently)
Each one, teach one
Apparently nothin' (Apparently nothin′, nothin' apparently)
Apparently nothin′ (Apparently nothin', nothin′ apparently)
Apparently nothin' (Apparently nothin', nothin′ apparently)

See the light
Show yo′ light
'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 (Apparently nothin′)
I'm gonna let my light glow (Nothin′ apparently)
Everywhere I go (Apparently nothin')
I'm gonna let my light glow (Nothin′ apparently)

(Apparently nothin′) Anytime y'all (Nothin′ apparently), ohoho
(Apparently nothin') Anytime
(Nothin′ apparently) Anytime y'all, anytime y′all
Anytime y'all (Apparently nothin')

You got to see the light (Nothin′ apparently)
You got to see the light (Apparently nothin′)
You got to see the light (Nothin' apparently)
(Apparent, apparent)

(Apparently nothin′) No, no, no, no, no, no, no
