it's late I know but I can't sleep

peace of mind is hard to keep

I saw it on the news today

a thousand lives just blown away



I want eyes

I want eyes



another page in history

but the why is still a mystery

won't you come so we can talk this through

do you need me now like I need you



I want eyes

I want eyes



on the beach lies a boy

thrown away like a toy

in the field lies a man

left behind, he was calling, calling

no one saw him die



sitting there you're telling me

that everything is meant to be

but when I say I can't go on

I know I'm not the only one

I just can't live on planet hope

and watch the world go up in smoke

I don't know how to face the facts

when I see a child respond to impact



I want eyes

I want eyes

I want eyes

I want eyes



so I wake every night

with the same dream in mind

in a field there's a man

left behind, he was calling, calling

no one saw me cry



call
