In the silence of the night, can you hear the cries? Can you feel suffering? In the eyes of young America, the tears begin to fall The streets are filled with predators and broken hearts Shot down and left for dead, so victimless crime Those satellites are watching everything decline Words have been spoken, promises broken Tears in the eyes of the world Anger, frustration, mind manipulation Tears in the eyes of the world Can you feel the suffering? IF you have ears, let them hear; if you have eyes, let them see Can you feel? In your face another tragedy, another waste of life Your sanity will push the image from your mind Cut down in agony, this culture of death A trail of pain that takes away your very breath Dying traditions, selfish ambitions Tears in the eyes of the world Anger, frustration, sheer desperation Tears in the eyes of the world There's no vision, there's no life Is there time to get it right? Tears in the eyes of the world Will the sun refuse to shine? Will the stars fall from the sky? Tears in the eyes of the world In the silence of the night, can you hear the cries? Tears in the eyes of the world Can you feel the suffering, can you pay the price? Tears in the eyes of the world
