Carrie Newcomer - A Simple Change of Heart Lyrics

There has never been a day
When the world wasn't new
When the sun didn't rise
Or the light breaks on through
Things might get a little worse
Before they get a little better
But there are always clearer skies
Stretching out beyond bad weather and
The world holds its breath
To see where we'll incline this time

I feel something 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
That's the best place to start
The greatest revolution
Is a simple change of heart
I can't put the sacred in such a little box
Because it's not

There's no shame in learning something
When there's something 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 more morning
And try one more time
We tried yelling at each other
It hasn't worked so well
Throwing gas on fire
Never helped as far as I can tell
Throwing stones cut deep
A little kindness goes deeper still
