Can’t see faith through the tears

Of my swollen eyes

I try to dry

I pretend it’s not as bad as it seems - what a lie

How can we be so blind

Every time a child dies

People are starving

Rain forests are falling

The bombs are dropping from the sky

I don’t know why – it sticks in my head

I close my eyes – and it hurts me so bad

I don’t know why – it sticks in my head

I close my eyes – I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I look away from this misery

And I hope the problem will disappear

But it still hurts me every time a child dies

It’s like a knife you stab in my heart

And twist it, twist it, twist it around

I don’t know why – it sticks in my head

I close my eyes – and it hurts me so bad

I don’t know why – it sticks in my head

I close my eyes – I close my eyes
