A Simple Change Of Heart Lyrics - Before & After - Carrie Newcomer

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
