Look into my eyes...

[tericared]

 

Look into my eyes, tell me what you see..

you don't see a damn thing

cause you can't relate to me

you're blinded by our differences, my life makes no sense to you

im the persecuted one, you the red-white & blue

Each day you wake in tranquility, no fears to cross your eyes

Each day I wake in gratitude thanking God He let me rise

you worry about your education, and the bills you have to pay

I worry about my vulnerable life, and if ill survive another day

your bbiggest fear is getting a ticket as you cruise your Cadillac

my fear is that the tank that has just left will turn around and come back

Yet do you know the truth of where your money goes?

Do you let the media deceive your mind?

Is this a truth nobody nobody nobody knows?

Someone tell me..

See Ive known terror for quite some time, 57 years so cruel

Terror breathes the air I breathe, it's the checkpoint on my way to school..

Terror is the robbery of my land, and the torture of my mother!

The imprisonment of my innocent father, the bullet in my baby brother!!

The bulldozers and the tanks, the gases and the guns..

The bombs that fall outside my door, all due to your funds!!!

You blame me for defending myself, against the ways of my enemies.

I'm terrorized in my own land, But am I the terrorist?

America.. do you realize that the taxes that you pay..

Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day.

So if I won't be here tomorrow, It's written in my fate

May the future bring a brighter day, the end of our wait.
