THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)

there are depths inside no one knows
deeper than anyone goes
I'm alone there
all alone there
but I want to share
and it hurts to have so much inside
and feel nobody cares

so I come up to the surface
and try to get creative
to inspire someone to care
and I babble on to lighter things
and nobody notices
the depths inside somewhere

where every injustice and pain in this world
seems to reach out and touch my heart
the places my senses can take me inside
threaten to tear me apart

so I come up to the surface
and sing a simple happy song
so nobody gets scared
and we can smile and all pretend
that everybody cared

sometimes I think it is madness
like the whole world might be insane
but then everybody's too busy
to care about somebody else's pain
it's easier just to ignore it
and go on like everything's fine
so when I slip into deeper feelings
the madness must just be mine

so I come up to the surface
and paint a smile in my words
because I want to share
and it hurts so much inside
to feel nobody cares
to feel nobody's here

I come up to the surface
and sing a simple happy song
so nobody gets scared
and we can smile and all believe
that everybody cared

somewhere children are starving
somewhere bombs are ending lives
somewhere people are praying
somewhere people are waiting
somewhere people are hating
so what can we do
  until a better world arrives...

I come up to the surface
and sing a simple happy song
so nobody gets scared
and we can smile and all believe
that everybody cared

  somewhere everybody cares...
