[Hook]

I see pain in the eyes that I view (yeah I see it)

This breaking news really ain't new (really ain't)

This breaking news really ain't new (nah really ain't)

It really ain't

Listen

[Verse 1]

Breaking news

New bodies in the body bag

A boy lost the man he used to call dad

A girl will never see her mother smile again

At the funeral they cry for the life that she never had

How many lives lost at the hands

Of a nemesis?

With a sad plot so damaging

A terrorist, anarchist

Someone who was pulled or forced to the dark side like Anakin?

I'm balancing my thoughts

Rallying the hope

I'm paddling to the shore

Now I was pretty sure this land was quite safe

While the enemy grew up on our shores

Valley of the shadow of death it feels close

Every time i turn up the news and move close

Bedtime stories help the kids sleep well

Now we're hearing stories of babies on beach shells

[Verse 2]

Rest in peace Alan Kurdi

I hope that you sleep well

A life cut short

He was trying to leave hell

Tryna find the better life that I live

If I was in the same position what would I give?

Many kids wishing they could be in my shoes

Souls lost in the sea

What do we do?

Feeling kinda powerless to minimise feuds

War in another land

I can't even understand

How it must feel

Fearing for your life

Running to the high hills

Only to get there and told to go back

Borderline beef

This is borderline peak

Nah

It's more than that

It's more like bad dreams

More like nightmares when they feel real and you feel trapped in your sleep

It hits deep

Mothers lying down six feet

The graveyard stealing heart beats

[Verse 3]

Can I get a heart please?

Apathy running deep in the veins of the people living in the west

So I spray these syllables

Aiming for your heart

Always clinical

Hoping that I strike a chord with you, umbilical

Tell me why my heart feeling cynical

And why i see the pain of these individuals

Through my digital device and I only really do the minimal

Give a retweet

Then i move to the next

Repeat, then again

Never stress

You pretend it could never be you on the other end

Looking for help from those on the other end

And wondering why change didn't come in the end

We gotta start spreading love from our ends

Love the ones beside you

Whether or not they ride for you

Tomorrow's not promised but know this:

Today is our chance to change

We're not hopeless

[Hook]

I see pain in the eyes that I view yeah (yeah I see it)

This breaking news really ain't new (really ain't)

This breaking news really ain't new

Wanna see change in the eyes that i view (I wanna see it)

This breaking news really ain't new (really ain't)

This breaking news really ain't new (nah really ain't)

It really ain't
