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 mind
You make me think hard
I suddenly start
To take things to heart
You color my world
A little more ever 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 every day
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.

You speak your mind
You make me think hard
I saw on the start
You think it's too hard
You color my world
A little more ever day
Singing 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 every day
Singing clearer now
Don't you know! (echoes)

As you regret
We feel no sorrow
We do our best
To face tomorrow.
