Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, see if you understand

Troubled and hardened there's safety in rage

So when I was a child I kept building a cage


Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, can you see who I am


I felt love fragment heartache

In my body as a child

Oh yeah and I remember

Being taught to not run wild


What about all those promises

And the failures to proceed

And I seem to recall now

My own hunger and your greed


Look in my eyes and you see who I am

Look in my eyes see if you understand

With complex compassion, I've tried to stay near

But when you found wrong I would never appear


Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, can you see who I am


When I searched for the father

And the son and the holy ghost

I felt blows from my neighbors

Who were lost and hurt me most


For the millions of children

The Sao Paulos everywhere

I've remembered who I am

I'm a child who wants to share


Look in my eyes, can you see who I am

Look in my eyes, see if you understand

Troubled and hardened there's safety in rage

So when I was a child I kept building a cage


Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
