Open your eyes Can't you see? How the rain is pouring and the winds are blowing How the sun is shining and the rivers are flowing How the birds are chirping and the leaves are falling How the waves are surfing and the flowers are blooming Can't you see? How the people are dying and the kids are starving How the families keep crying and the children always praying How the mothers keep suffering as their sons keep falling to the ground where they're crawling Can't you see? How in countries, they're always talking of how diseases keep on spreading But there's no cure, so they stay dying cause our country keeps on buying pointless ****, but Obama's trying really hard to not be lying For all the promises he keeps making of how the world will soon be changing Can't you see? Open your eyes See how the guns stay shooting and their bullets always piercing innocent people, hear them screaming for their lives to keep on living All for peace, and we keep saying how very soon it'll be ending without even caring of all the people we keep hurting Can't you see? How all this time we keep on hiding under fear and try ignoring all the things in our surroundings Even trees that we keep cutting down for paper to be writing even though they're there for breathing Can't you see? How all the creatures that are walking on the roads that we've created So the cars can start polluting all the air that we're inhaling And we just stay in our rooms praying to a God who keeps on claiming he'll be back to earth for saving all the people who stay sinning Can't you see? See the seeds we plant for growing like our minds will soon be knowing all these things aren't here for showing We are here for our own living Start it now with love and giving
