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 ♪ One wise man told us all Only love can drive and 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
