I
Won't Close My Eyes
Chorus I won't close
my eyes
To the sufferers plight.
In a world full of sadness
I won't turn off my light.
Our cries for
justice are shots in the dark
But our strength's in our bite
And not in our bark
It's time to stand
And shout it out loud
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
Chorus I won't close
my eyes
When I know that I'm right
When I'm drowning in tears
I won't turn off my light.
We're shown no
respect
But that can't break our pride,
When our backs to the wall
We won't run and we won't hide
It's time to stand, face the oncoming crowd
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
Chorus I wont't close
my eyes
When the future don't look bright
Though the road seems too long
I won't turn off my light
In a world full of darkness,
I won't turn off my light. |
