Weeping Willow

Pour myself a cup of OJ in the early morn
Drippy droppy drippy drop a bit more
Pick up the newspaper with my left hand, I see
Disaster, destruction, poverty, and maybe some celebrities
We call that news, I call that heart...break...ing

Driving down the freeway in my brown piece of car
I've got so much more than many
I've never had to hold the hand of my starving baby
See my Daddy die to a preventable disease

But
Weeping willows dry your eyes I know
We can find you some sunrise
If you would
Hold tight yea hold on to those dreams
We're coming we're building a love army

I hugged a tree today does that make me a tree hugger
I felt the soil today to see if I knew how you toil
We've ravaged, we've ravaged, all that we see
We've ravaged humanity

But weeping willow dry your eyes I know
We can find you some sunrise
If you would
Hold tight yea hold on to those dreams
We're coming we're building a love army
