What's On My Mind Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

I'm lying here awake 

Photographs flash through my head 

If only I could get some rest 

I toss and turn instead 

Oh I think of every child 

How they should have the right to shine 

Never lose their innocence 

Each one born divine 

Some trees learn to bend 

That's how they survive 

Maybe we must learn from them 

To keep our hopes alive 

Sometimes my eyes just want to cry 

How did we come to this divide 

Is this God's creation 

One for all, but millions left behind 

That's what's on my mind 

The cries from distant shores 

Fall on ears too deaf to care 

How can people turn away 

While lies pollute the air 

One wise man told us all 

Only love can drive and hate 

If we disregard his call 

It could be too late

Sometimes my heart just wants to cry 

How did we come to this divide 

Filled with frustration 

One for all, but millions left behind 

That's what's on my mind 

And love can not exist alone 

It must be shared, it must be shown 

The next generation colorblind 

That's what's on my mind 

A new conversation we must find 

That's what's on my mind 

What happened to just being kind 

That's what's on my mind 

So much on my mind, my mind 

So much on my mind
