TV TIME

I TURN THE TV OFF 
SO I DON'T HAVE TO SEE
ALL THE BAD THINGS GOING ON AROUND ME
SEEMS THE GOOD GETS SHOVED TO THE REAR
SO MAYBE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR
HOW THE MAN PASSING BY SAVED THE CHILD FROM THE FIRE
HOW THE PASSENGER ON THE PLANE SAVED SO MANY FROM THE FLAMES
HOW THE DOG LAID IN THE SNOW KEEPING HIS FRIEND WARM FROM THE COLD
HOW A WOMAN GAVE CPR TO A STRANGER FROM AFAR
HOW THE GIRL STOOD UP AND SAID "NO MORE BULLYING" IT'S A SIN
CAN'T YOU SEE, NO ONE..NOT NO ONE WINS
THE GOOD NEEDS TO BE ON THE TV NEWS FIRST
SOMETHING COMFORTING TO START YOUR DAY OR END YOUR NIGHT
NOT ALL GLOOM AND DOOM AND FULL OF FRIGHT
ALL HOPE GONE NOTHING BUT DESPAIR
ALL DREAMS GOING UP IN THE AIR
I DON'T EXPECT THINGS TO CHANGE ANYTIME SOON
I'LL JUST TURN OFF THE TV AND GO TO MY BEDROOM
I'LL SIT IN SILENCE AND TRY TO REWIND
SWEEPING THE BAD NEWS RIGHT OUT OF MY MIND
THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW, I'LL WAKE UP AND SAY
"THANK YOU LORD"
FOR A BRAND NEW DAY
