Turn off the News (Build a Garden)
I believe that every heart is kind
Some are just a little underused
Hatred is a symptom of the times
Lost in these uneducated blues
I just wanna love you while I can
All these other thoughts have me confused
I don't need to try and understand
Maybe I'll get up, turn off the news
Turn off the news and build a garden
Just my neighborhood and me
We might feel a bit less hardened
We might feel a bit more free
Turn off the news and raise the kids
Give them something to believe in
Teach them how to be good people
Give them hope that they can see
Hope that they can see
Turn off the news
And build a garden with me
Trust builds trust
All that negativity's a bust
Trust builds trust
Don't you wanna be happy?
Turn off the news and build a garden
Just my neighborhood and me
We might feel a bit less hardened
We might feel a bit more free
Turn off the news and raise the kids
Give them something to believe in
Teach them how to be good people
Give them hope that they can see
Hope that they can see
Turn off the news
And build a garden with me
Turn off the news
And build a garden with me
