Bill Ward

Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, see if you understand
Troubled and hardened theres safety in rage
So when I was a child I kept building a cage
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
I felt love fragment heartache
In my body as a child
Oh yeah and I remember
Being taught to not run wild
What about all those promises
And the failures to proceed
And I seem to recall now
My own hunger and your greed
Look in my eyes and you see who I am
Look in my eyes see if you understand
With complex compassion, Ive tried to stay near
But when you found wrong I would never appear
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
When I searched for the father
And the son and the holy ghost
I felt blows from my neighbors
Who were lost and hurt me most
For the millions of children
The Sao Paulos everywhere
Ive remembered who I am
Im a child who wants to share
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
Look in my eyes, see if you understand
Troubled and hardened theres safety in rage
So when I was a child I kept building a cage
Look in my eyes, can you see who I am
[Repeat to fade]
