i see the headline news
the stories that i read do not affect me directly
it’s hard to feel that they are real
i end up gazing at the words
i see the evening news
reports that they are showing are depressing, distressing
but even so, i’m not involved
i end up staring at the screen

 

but you spring to mind, you make me think hard
i suddenly start to take things to heart
you color my world a little more every day
seeing clearer now don’t you know?
i’m thinking of you, you make me think hard
i feel the surprise, reality bites
a breath of fresh air a little more everyday
seeing clearer now

 

the politicians quarrel
journalists rejoice in every scoop that they’re making
for dirty news, gets great reviews, and profits soar into the sky
a famous actor dies, the photographs they take of friends
in mourning, appall me
i close my eyes, don’t recognize
the pain i’m seeing every day

 

but you spring to mind, you make me think hard
i suddenly start to take things to heart
you color my world a little more every day
seeing clearer now don’t you know?
i’m thinking of you, you make me think hard
i feel the surprise, reality bites
a breath of fresh air a little more everyday
seeing clearer now don’t you know?

 

there’s no regret, we feel no sorrow
we do our best to face tomorrow
