With these Eyes

Life is running slowly through our hands

Fade away like footsteps in the sand

Passing by us

And all our visions went astray

We're living with the scars of yesterday

To remind us

We look the other way

We're blind to what surrounds us

And no one seems to care

We dream of better days

Cause everyone's got their own cross to bear

Ain't it so

With these eyes I have seen

Wasted lives and broken dreams

with this heart I have felt

How we seem to please ourselves

We need new dreams tonight

Like the stars need the sky

We need love and sympathy

I need you and you need me

Look upon the homeless in the street

See the pain to those in need

All those empty faces

Think about the selfish way we live

How we take and never give

Somehow some things never change

The man behind the fence

He's got nothing left to live for

The wheels are standing still

And the beggar on the bench

Is lost for hope and he knows

It's the loneliness that kills

With these eyes I have seen

Wasted lives and broken dreams

with this heart I have felt

How we seem to please ourselves

We need new dreams tonight

Like the stars need the sky

We need love and sympathy

I need you and you need me

Somebody take me and show me the way

To the end of the world where paradise begins

With these eyes

With this heart

I have seen many lives torn apart

With these eyes I have seen

Wasted lives and broken dreams

with this heart I have felt

How we seem to please ourselves

We need new dreams tonight

Like the stars need the sky

We need love and sympathy

I need you and you need me
