Some other day

I watched a 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
This safe and independant 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 a-turning in my bed

A glass of Hennessy 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 the 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
