Look in Their Eyes

Friend of the shadows

He's wandering

Knows no country,

No god or king

You miss him when you're passing by

You don't hear him when he cries

But if you take a step closer

There's a window to his life

Look in his eyes

(See him in the dark)

What do you find?

(Without a light, without a spark)

Look in his eyes and see the dark

She's holding her child

The way your mother held you

Is turning her around

What you really wanna do?

You miss her when she passes by

You won't know it when she dies

You'll never really see her

Until you look into her eyes

Look in her eyes

(See the burning fire)

What do you find?

(Freedom is her one desire)

Look in her eyes and see the fire

Raft on a shore

Tears in the surf

Strangers in a strange land

Surviving since birth

You miss them when they pass you by

They don't mean a thing to you

But if you take a step backward

It's your story, too

Look in their eyes

(Footprints in the sand)

What do you find?

(The world's forgotten citizens)

Look in their eyes

(See a thousand miles)

What do you find?

(Mother, daughter, father, child)

Look in their eyes

(Families left behind)

What do you find?

(Everything is on the line)

Look in their eyes

What do you find?

Look in their eyes

What do you find?

Look in their eyes

What do you find?

Look in their eyes

What do you find?
