I hear the news, I read the paper
There's no choice, it fills your senses
I share the hurt, I share the heart-break
It comes each day, the news is so relentless
My heart goes searching for a place to hide
I hear a voice of warning down inside

Apathy alert
I hear a voice inside shouting to my heart
Apathy alert
It's time to do what's right
It's time for me to do my part

Broken dreams and breaking hearts
Every place you look, but who can change it
What can I do all by myself
I'm not a king and I'm no prophet
I hear a voice of warning down inside
Breaking the silence, breaking thru the ice

Apathy alert
I hear a voice inside shouting to my heart
Apathy alert
It's time to do what's right
It's time for me to do my part
