Look into my eyes

Tell me what ya see

U don't see a damn thing

Cuz u can't relate to me



U blinded by our differences

My life makes no sense to u

I'm the persecuted one

U the red, white and blue



Each day u wake in tranquility

No fears to cross your eyes

Each day I wake in gratitude

Thankin' God He let me rise



Ya worry 'bout your education

And the bills u have to pay

I worry 'bout my vulnerable life

And if I'll survive another day



Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket

As ya cruise your Cadillac

My fear is that the tank that's just left

Will turn around and come back



Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody knows

Has our world gone all blind 

Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody knows

Some one tell me



Oh let's not cry tonight

I promise you one day it's through

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters



Oh shine a light for every soul

That ain't with us no more

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters



See I've known terror for quite some times

57 years so cruel

Terror breathes the air I breathe

It's the check point 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 gasses 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

And I'm the terrorist



Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody knows

Has our world gone all blind 

Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes

Do u let the media deceive your mind

Is this a truth that nobody knows

Some one tell me



Oh let's not cry tonight

I promise you one day it's through

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters



Oh shine a light for every soul

That ain't with us no more

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters



American do ya realize

That the taxes that u 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



Oh let's not cry tonight

I promise you one day it's through

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters



Oh shine a light for every soul

That ain't with us no more

Ohohoh my brothers

Ohohoh my sisters
