What's Going On Next Door speaks to things we don't generally want to speak about. Domestic violence, abuse, child porn... these are things that are in our world sadly, and sometimes it's hard to know whether to speak out and intervene or stay silent. This song is meant to make you stop and think about it. What would you do if you were right next door and something not so nice was happening?

What’s Goin’ On Next Door?

V1
Here I go again
Covering my ears so I don’t hear it
(What a doggone shame)
Time and time again
I close my eyes
So I don’t see it
(It just feels insane)
But I wanna know
CHORUS
What’s goin’ on next door?
It’s hard to tell for sure
It’s not my business, no
What should I do?
What if that’s me next door?
Would I want you to know?
If I was hurting so
What should you do?
V2
It’s no concern of mine
But I could be mistaken
(It’s a chance I’ll take)
There might come a time
When it’s too late
Someone’s forsaken
(It’s a sad mistake)
Still, I wanna know
CHORUS
What’s goin’ on next door?
It’s hard to tell for sure
It’s not my business, no
What should I do?
What if that’s me next door?
Would I want you to know?
If I was hurting so
What should you do?
BRIDGE
I need to know if I’m responsible for
My neighbor, or a stranger
But if I wait, it might be to late
For an answer
Wake up people this has got to STOP
CHORUS
What’s goin’ on next door?
It’s hard to tell for sure
It’s not my business, no
What should I do?
What if that’s me next door?
Would I want you to know?
If I was hurting so
What should you do?
