Can’t see faith through the tears
Of my swollen eyes
I try to dry
I pretend it’s not as bad as it seems - what a lie
How can we be so blind
Every time a child dies
People are starving
Rain forests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – and it hurts me so bad
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear
But it still hurts me every time a child dies
It’s like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – and it hurts me so bad
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – I close my eyes
Of my swollen eyes
I try to dry
I pretend it’s not as bad as it seems - what a lie
How can we be so blind
Every time a child dies
People are starving
Rain forests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – and it hurts me so bad
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear
But it still hurts me every time a child dies
It’s like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – and it hurts me so bad
I don’t know why – it sticks in my head
I close my eyes – I close my eyes
