Whole Lot of People
Hope Amidst Chaos: The Restless Wait
Lyrics
A whole lot of people talking, trying to make sense
A lot of people are engaging in conversation, attempting to find meaning or understanding.
Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence

Whole lotta people too proud to call
Many people are too proud to seek help.
'Cause it won't get no help at all
Refers to the reluctance to seek assistance as it won't be effective or forthcoming.
Everybody's waiting for the good news day
People are eagerly anticipating a day with positive news, but it feels distant.
