Close My Eyes

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 everytime 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
