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
Have you opened your eyes yet?
