Notes

Wrote this with Ben and, again, you can hear that voice of "conscience." The bizarre thing is that most of my lyrics come from a subconscious place.  I had most of this idea already and Ben helped me smooth out the rough edges.
We are in a tough situation here in America. Many of us are too proud to admit we have serious problems. We are afraid to question. Afraid to doubt. I read a quote recently by Elie Wiesel, "the opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference." We have way too much indifference going in here in America. We need to wake up and take a good look around.

Lyrics

Do you do it for the money?
Do you do it for the show?
Are you someone who can make a difference now?
Someone who goes for broke

Don’t lose hope
Don’t lose faith
It’s in what you give it comes out what you make
Don’t you lose that human heart
Don’t you lose that human heart

Love is all I have to give you
Life is all I have to live
Do I look that unfamiliar?
Do I look that different?

Don’t lose hope
Don’t lose faith
It’s in what you give it comes out what you make
Don’t you lose that human heart
Don’t you lose that human

Break

I can see myself in your eyes
Can you see yourself in mine?
Are you looking for a friend now?
Are you looking for a sign?

Don’t lose hope
Don’t lose faith
It’s in what you give it comes out what you make
Don’t lose hope
Don’t lose faith
It’s in what you give it comes out what you make
Don’t you lose that human heart
Don’t you lose that human
Don’t you lose that human heart
Don’t you lose that human heart
