Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh

I'm lying here awake
Photographs flash through my head
If only I could get some rest
I toss and turn instead
Oh I think of every child
How they should have the right to shine
Never lose their innocence
Each one born divine
Some trees learn to bend
That’s how they survive
Maybe we must learn from them
To keep our hopes alive

Sometimes my eyes just want to cry
How did we come to this divide?
Is this God's creation?
One for all, but millions left behind
That's what’s on my mind

The cries from distant shores
Fall on ears too deaf to care
How can people turn away
While lies pollute the air?
A wise men told us all
Only love can drive out hate
If we disregard his call
It could be too late

Sometimes my heart just wants to cry
How did we come to this divide?
Filled with frustration
One for all, but millions left behind
That's what's on my mind

And love can not exist alone
It must be shared, it must be shown
The next generation colorblind
That's what's on my mind

A new conversation
We must find
That's what's on my mind

What happened to just being kind?
That's what’s on my mind
So much on my mind
My mind, so much on my mind

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
