Think With the Heart

Seated in my easy chair I get the news report
I need a cheer from anywhere, but nothing of the sort
People dying of overweight, while the hungry increase
And the hour is getting late for disarmament and peace

Got to be smart now
Got to think with the heart now
Because the world is falling apart now

Go to see the guy next door and share my scares and fears
He says he’s heard it all before, “It’s been like this for years”
But if it dawns on you one fine day, that you’re a part of all
You see the world in a different light and it’s hard for you to stall

Got to be smart now …

So you try a congressman and tell him how you feel
He ought to lend a helping hand, an upright man with zeal
Bu t his ambition to have a seat and keep it one more turn
Shuts him off from the ones in need. They can’t elect him in return

Got to be smart now …

Jesus came with love in mind. They hung him on a cross
But resurrection’s a mighty sign that hope may not be lost
So whatever the bad news is, it’s not the last decree
And what good news comes out of this is up to you and me

Got to be smart now …
