Before Our Very Eye's
Cowards live to exist for nothing
Our land is firty and dirty
Calamity every where
Right in front of our very eye's
Our prophets are slain
The very ones who stand so brave
Are been punish for the truth
Before our very eye's
We see our hero's fall
We see our very own best slain away
We see our women abuse
We see our natural resources wasted to greed in africa
We see ourselves go hungry
We see all we have been given
Taken far from us
I wonder what you see
Before our very eye's
We work like elephant
But we eat as rat
We run but we never know
Our destination
We strugle only for the greedy
We stand but not tall enough
We wallow only to end in confusion
We see yet i dont know what you see
Before our very eye's
We see polictician promising us
Heaven on earth
Only to leave us in shadows like a slave
We see our leaders stealing from us
We see our land turn blood
We see our children go hungry
We see our mother's grieve
We see our men used so terribly bad as just tools
We see our old fathers dieing in pains of illness
We wonder yet I don't know what you see
Before our very eye's
Alot we see
Alot makes us wonder
Alot we can't say
Alot fear is killing our sight
Alot we want to say
but we are so scard of the unknown
I wonder when all this will be a past
As well yet I wonder
What you see
