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
