look into my eyes lyrics

Look into my eyes
Tell me what ya see
You don?t see a damn thing
'Cuz you can?t relate to me

You blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to you
I?m the persecuted one
You the red, white and blue

Each day you wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thankin? God, He let me rise

Ya worry ?bout your education
And the bills you have to pay
I worry ?bout my vulnerable life
And if I?ll survive another day

Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket
As ya cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that?s just left
Will turn around and come back

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

Yet do you know the truth of where ya money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth that nobody knows?
Some one tell me

Oh, let?s not cry tonight
I promise you one day it?s through
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sisters

Oh, shine a light for every soul
That ain?t with us no more
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sisters

See, I?ve known terror for quite some times
57 years, so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
It?s the check point 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 gasses 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
And I?m the terrorist

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

Yet do you know the truth of where ya money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth that nobody knows?
Some one tell me

Oh, let?s not cry tonight
I promise you one day it?s through
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sisters

Oh, shine a light for every soul
That ain?t with us no more
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sisters

American, do ya 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

Oh, let?s not cry tonight
I promise you one day it?s through
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sisters

Oh, shine a light for every soul
That ain?t with us no more
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sisters
