    Chorus:
    Looking for some wise men
    Tell me what you see
    Surely there’s some wise men
    On this Epiphany
    Today was such a sad day
    In US history
    Looking for some wise men
    I hope there’s more than three
    The twelfth day of Christmas
    Just the wife and me
    Boxing up another year
    Taking down the tree
    It’s quiet here in Nashville
    Snow is falling down
    The President’s on TV
    We watch without the sound
    Chorus
    A year ago today
    I was working here at home
    I finally stopped to look at
    What was pinging on my phone
    Nothing we could do
    For the rest of that day
    When your country is imploding
    It’s hard to look away
    Chorus
    I think I know the system
    I know the voting rules
    The ones who keep complaining
    Seem like charlatans and fools
    But everything’s political
    From health to history
    You buy the news you like and
    It tells you what you see
    Chorus

      I believe the January 6 refers to the charge on the U.S. Capital.

    Thank you for this song that says what so much of us are feeling! I also thought that it was ironic that the event took place on Epiphany.

    Love you Tim , as always . The case of Cowboy Ray Epps is another serious red flag, After he yelled "Go INTO the capitol!" The crowd shouted "No! No! and then "FED! FED! FED!" but the Fed part gets edited out.

    Oh dear... Not Streisand again. I hate it when an entertainer I love splits his or her base into wise and stupid.
