I´m lying here awake Photographs flash through my head
If only I could get some rest I toss and turn instead Oh I think of every child How they should have the right to shine Never lose their innocence Each one born divine Some trees learn to bend That’s how they survive Maybe we must learn from them To keep our hopes alive
Sometimes my eyes just want to cry How did we come to this divide? Is this God´s creation? One for all, but millions left behind That´s what’s on my mind
The cries from distant shores
Fall on ears too deaf to care How can people turn away While lies pollute the air? A wise men told us all Only love can drive out hate If we disregard his call It could be too late
Sometimes my heart just wants to cry How did we come to this divide? Filled with frustration One for all, but millions left behind That´s what´s on my mind
And love can not exist alone It must be shared, it must be shown The next generation colorblind That´s what´s on my mind
A new conversation We must find That´s what´s on my mind
What happened to just being kind? That´s what’s on my mind So much on my mind My mind, so much on my mind
