Title: I Won't Close My Eyes
Lyrics I Won't Close My EyesI won't close my eyes
To the sufferers plight
In a world full of sadness
I won't turn off my light
Our cries for justice are shots in the dark
But our strength's in our bite and not in our bark
It's time to stand and shout it out loud
And the louder we scream, the sweeter we sound
I won't close my eyes
When I know that I'm right
When I'm drowning in tears
I won't turn off my light
We're shown no respect but that can't break our pride
When our back's to the wall we won't run and we won't hide
It's time to stand, face the oncoming crowd
And the louder we scream, the sweeter we sound
I won't close my eyes
When the future don't look bright
Though the road seems too long
I won't turn off my light
In a world full of darkness
I won't turn off my light |
