Open Your Eyes

Open your eyes, look all around
People can do awful things, without making a sound
If you really look, you will see
The terrible place this world can be
Few get in trouble for doing wrong,
Its been this way all along
Maybe if everyone opened their eyes,
The bad in this world would shrink in size
