What's On My Mind
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
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
