A Simple Change Of Heart

There's never been a day

When the world wasn't new

When the sun did not rise

Or the light break on through



Things might get a little worse

Before they get a little better

But there's always clearer skies

Stretching out beyond bad weather



And the world holds its breath

Just to see where we'll incline this time



Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la



I feel somethin' has shifted

I know the story's changed

In the window of a crisis

We can build a better frame



Come on and look inside you

It's the best place to start

And the greatest revolution

Is a simple change of heart



I can't put the sacred in such a little box

Because it's not



Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la



There's no shame in learnin' somethin'

When there's somethin' that must be learned

But there's danger when we will not see

What our actions earn



Courage doesn't always shout

But whispers and reminds

When we get up one long mornin'

And we try another time



We tried yelling at each other

It hasn't worked so well

Throwing gas on a fire

Never helped as far as I can tell



Throwing stones cut deep

A little kindness goes deeper still



Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la



Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la



Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la



Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la



Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la

Ha, la, la, la



Ha, la, la, la
