Lyrics: Look Into My Eyes

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see
You don't see a damn thing 'cause you can't relate to me
You're blinded by our differences, my life makes no sense to you
I'm the persecuted one, you're the red, white and blue

Each day you wake in tranquility, no fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude thanking God He let me rise
You worry about your education and the bills you have to pay
I worry about my vulnerable life and if I'll survive another day
Your biggest fear is getting a ticket as you cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that has just left will turn around and come back

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has are world gone all blind?

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me ...

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it's through
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters

See I've known terror for quite some time, 57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe, it's the checkpoint on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land and the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father, the bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks, the gases and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door all due to your funds
You blame me for defending myself against the ways of my enemies
I'm terrorized in my own land (what) and I'm the terrorist?

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has are world gone all blind?

Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me ...

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters

Americans, do you realize that the taxes that you pay
Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day
So if I won't be here tomorrow, it's written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day, the end of our wait

[pause]

Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers, ohh my sisters

[with kids]
Ohh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is through
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
Ooh shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
