Mixed Emotions
© Neil Porter 2008

I’ve been thinking
I’ve been flying blind
I’ve got good intentions
With a true heart
And open mind
I’ve got wounds to heal

I’ve got bad things on my mind
That I just don’t understand
I’ve read through all the papers
And I’m holding out my hands

When you tell me
You’ve got big plans
I got mixed emotions
We’ve got dark times
We’ve got low morale
Need some magic moments

I’ve got bad things on my mind
That I just don’t understand
I’m reading all the papers
Is that blood there on your hands?

You’ve got big lies
You’ve got small minds
I wonder how you’re sleeping
Can you tell me,
Use that silver tongue
Why you brought us here?

I’ve got some bad things on my mind
That I just don’t understand
Is that blood there on the pavement?
Can I see blood there on your hands?

I’ve been hoping
You’ve got things on your mind
And you’ve got good intentions
Need a brave heart
And a steady hand
You’ve got some wounds to heal

I’ve got some bad things on my mind
That I just don’t understand
I’ve read through all the papers
And I’m holding out my hands
