They say ignorance is bliss. Well there's truth in that I guess, But only for the ignorant one. But for the people being used Mistreated and abused Tell me what good has our ignorance done.
When we close our eyes and turn away And say, "Maybe tomorrow, but not today.'' Cause we don't have money and we don't have time, Well it sounds like out of sight out of mind.
It breaks our hearts to see Those hurting children on TV, But do we do any thing for them. Sure at first they make us sad, But we get tired of feeling bad So we just change the channel and ignore them.
When we close our eyes and turn away And say, "Maybe tomorrow, but not today.'' Cause we don't have money and we don't have time, Well it sounds like out of sight out of mind.
How would it be different If we saw those kids each time we went Down the street begging for something to eat With torn clothes no shoes on there feet. Could we look them in the eye And still try to justify Our inaction, walk past them. Would we still have too many distractions.
When we close our eyes and turn away And say, "Maybe tomorrow, but not today.'' Cause we don't have money and we don't have time, Well it sounds like out of sight out of mind. Yeah, it sounds like out of sight out of mind.
