• Sit back and listen close
    To the words that come out of my mouth
    I'll tell you what I see
    And I'll tell you who will cry
    All through my eyes.

    Where you see a paradise
    I see a wasteland
    When you ask me how this will arise
    I will tell you, "We'll do it, my good man!"

    Where you see children happy as can be
    I see them crying for their mommy
    When I tell you something must be done
    You ignore me my son

    Where you see a country safe from harm
    I see you as wars right arm
    When you ask me how I know
    I will say "A hidden foe!"

    Where you see a society full of equals
    I still see the pains of prejudice
    When you ask me how this can be amongst our peoples
    I will tell you "I can only begin to guess."

    Through your eyes
    You see the finer things
    Through your eyes
    You see nothing
    Through your eyes you see only what you want
    Through your eyes
    You see all the happy thoughts.

    Through my eyes
    I see the truth
    I see the world
    The bad seeds and poison fruit

    Through my eyes
    I see the pain
    I see the death and who will gain
    I see people changing themselves
    I see women selling themselves
    I see children unable to play
    Because parents are afraid of what hides during the day

    I see our normal life
    Ravaged by deadly diseases
    I see a normal night
    When even a grown man can be brought to his knees
