Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

You don't see a damn thing

'cause you can't relate to me

You're blinded by our differences

My life makes no sense to you

I'm the persecuted one

You're the red, white and blue



Each day you wake in tranquility

No fears to cross your eyes

Each day I wake in gratitude

Thanking God He let me rise

You worry about your education

And the bills you have to pay

I worry about my vulnerable life

And if I'll survive another day

Your biggest fear is getting a ticket

As you cruise your Cadillac

My fear is that the tank that has just left

Will turn around and come back



Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Has our world gone all blind?



Do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?

Someone tell me...



Ooohh, let's not cry tonight

I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters



See I've known terror for quite some time

57 years so cruel

Terror breathes the air I breathe

It's the checkpoint on my way to school

Terror is the robbery of my land

And the torture of my mother

The imprisonment of my innocent father

The bullet in my baby brother

The bulldozers and the tanks

The gases and the guns

The bombs that fall outside my door

All due to your funds

You blame me for defending myself

Against the ways of my enemies

I'm terrorized in my own land

But am I the terrorist?



Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows

Has our world gone all blind?



Do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let your media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?

Someone tell me...



Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,



America, do you realize that the taxes that you pay

Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day

So if I won't be here tomorrow

It's written in my fate

May the future bring a brighter day

The end of our wait



(pause)



Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,

Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,



Ohh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is through

Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!

Ooh shine a light for every Soul that ain't with us no more

Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
