Don't You Know? Lyrics

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
