I watched the flood on my TV today
I couldn't say from where
Just another flood on my TV
I wasn't bothered, it was far away
Worlds away from here
From my family and me
But just for a second I could feel
The safe and independent life of mine is not real
Just for a second I could see
That nothing is forever and nothing is for free
When will I go and make a change
I've got the time and I let it waste
I frown at people who don't care but I'm just the same
I wanna make a difference - maybe some other day
A bomb went off not far from here tonight
And now I'm wide-awake
Tossing and turning in my bed
A glass of Hennessey's sits by my side
But with every sip I take
These visions creep into my head
Just in this second I can see
The lights go and bricks and ceilings tumbling on me
Just in this second I can hear
The steps of panicked neighbours, the sound of fear
When will I go and make a change
I've got the time and I let it waste
I frown at people who don't care but I'm just the same
I wanna make a difference - maybe some other day
When will I go and make a change
I've got the time and I let it waste
I frown at people who don't care, but I'm just the same
I wanna make a difference - maybe some other day
