Are there any eyes that won’t burn When it comes their turn To be watchful throughout the sea of lies To watch over a child that cries
Crying for the father that never returned Or that rejected any stone turned Will this children’s eyes burn Because of the tears, or because it’s now their turn
Their turn to watch smoke paint the sky Turn to watch the seas rise Their time to watch their kind’s demise Burn from watching other tearing eyes
Will the eyes of the wise be blinded? When he has no more wisdom and has to be reminded Will the eyes of mothers turn to ashes in the air When they see the world they left is only more despair
Will a white dove cry When it can’t see the sky And its kin have turned grey And there’s nothing we could say To make them stay So it’s now the turn to our eyes to burn and cry For there are no doves in the sky
