Eyes Wide Open
I walked on past you
Never stopped to see
Those painful eyes
Looking up at me
Never saw the bodies
Huddled in the rain
Never saw my brothers
Crying in pain
I'm Held deep in silence,
Day after day
The sun shines bright
until the clouds fade to grey
Tear drops they fall,
Fall down like rain
Flooding these streets
Full of shame
full of shame
Now my eyes are wide open
I see what I see
All the pain that's caused
Is Caused by you and me...
