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
