I have eyes and I do see
whatever there is in front of me
The light in the dark
the long road ahead
a bird on a tree
the thoughts in my head
fog obscuring my heart
a flower and a bee
I see all this in front of me
The sunrise this morning
thunder and lightening
rain and then hail
a note in the mail
a smile that was lost
tears in their eyes
destruction at all cost
The poor and the weary
the hungry and scared
those that have lost someone
and those that are dead
a stick in the hand
and a bag on the shoulder
I see all that looking ahead
The bounce of a ball
hate in their eyes
a future uncertain
a child that cries
a gun to the head
a knife at the throat
all I see very, very load
Misguided people, selfish agendas
ignored values, shunned respect
heralding their own importance and splendour
vaccination by bullets and bombs
sinking into the deepest debt
creators of the generation of lost ones
inept at seeing or reading life's map
What's in the back I can't see unless I turn
mistakes, lectures and memories galore
and then what would I gain in return
all things I can't change and have no more
when I look back I awaken the past
ahead is my way I must move on
to the bridge of my future not the shore of my past
The smile of a stranger
the arms of my lover
a happy home
and a jolly mood
the beam of the son as he finds his father
a kid with a plate full of food
threatened by insanity of war, crime and danger
Hundreds of channels filled with confusion
I have eyes that do see
and I can't live in total exclusion
but when I look I can choose where to dwell
and shape my own destiny
I shall not fall under media's spell
jealously guarding my right to be
I have eyes and I do see
whatever there is in front of me
