I hear the news, I read the paper,
There's no choice; it fills your senses,
I share the hurt, I share the heartbreak,
It comes each day, the news is so relentless,
My heart goes searching for a place to hide,
I hear the 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 through the ice.

Apathy alert,
I hear the voice inside shouting to my heart,
Says apathy alert,
It's time to do what's right, it's time for me to do my part.
