WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES,…

When I look into your eyes, what do I see?

I see the evil upon man

Evil mind with evil plan 

Look at Sudan!

Yet we say we can!

When I look into your eyes, what do I see?

I see the hate in your eyes

The sun fall and rise

Love is spelt backwards, I realize

Yet I see the wicked smiles

When I look into your eyes, what do I see?

I see the woman stripped of her pride

Once beautiful as the King’s bride

Raped of her beauty, her beauty died

Yet she said she tried

When I look into your eyes, what do I see? 

I see love gone and gone forever

Wickedness is ruling and it’s not going to be better

Selfishness is all that hover

Yet we say we are clever

When I look into your eyes, what do I see?

I see religion being misused

In the name of it, people abused

It’s a time bomb that can’t be defused

Yet we will not refuse

When I look into your eyes, what do I see?

I see one liar, one politician

Out there seeking for their own satisfaction

They talk about hope but bring destruction

Yet we queue in pain for election

When I look into your eyes what do I see?

I see you, I see me

I see the tears that weren’t meant to be

I wish we will be under one tree

And together shout WE ARE FREE…
