What I See

I see a planet that's glowing red

I see the millions burning in their beds

I see the beauty that might have been

Torn from the future by hungry men

I have the same dream every night

I wake up shaking in the morning light

I don't know what could be expected of me

I only know that I believe what I see

And you, do you see what I see

Yeah you, do you see what I see

This isn't quite the way I thought it would be

It seems they want to make a symbol of me

I have the power that can keep us alive

It's a sugar coated pill and it's bitter inside

I have the same dream every night

I wake up shaking in the morning light

I don't know what could be expected of me

I only know that I believe what I see

And you, do you see what I see

Yeah you, do you see what I see
