Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
You don't see a damn thing
'Cause you can't relate to me
Your 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 'bout your education
And the bills you have to pay
I worry 'bout 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 the truth that nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has our world gone all blind
Yet do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this the truth that nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Some one tell me
Oh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is 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 time
Fifty-seven 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 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
What and I'm the terrorist?
Yet do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this the truth that nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Has our world gone all blind
Yet do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this the truth that nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Some one tell me
Oh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is 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 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
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
