Can't see faith through the tears
Of my swollen eyes I try to dry
I pretend it's not as bad as it seems
What a lie

How can we be so blind
Every time a child dies?
People are starving, rain forests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
(I close my eyes)

I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear
But it still hurts me every time a child dies

It's like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(And it hurts me so bad)
I don't know why
(It sticks in my head)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)

I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
I close my eyes
(I close my eyes)
