We close our eyes
In the morning when we wake up we hear
Only what we want to hear
We do only what we want to do
That's our life me and you
But do we open our eyes
When trouble is near
Do we stand up and say
No more lies no more tears
Or do we walk away
And close the door
On a world that is screaming for love
That's a world we're all afraid of
Just like the violence we see on TV
It's okay If it don't happen to me
But do we open our eyes
When trouble is near
Do we stand up and say
No more lies no more tears
Or do we walk away
I know we're all right
I know we're okay
I know in my heart
That love is the way
But still I close my eyes
And walk away
It's the only way to get through the day
To many starving children I say
Lets pretend the world's a much nicer place
No more nightmares to face
But do we open our eyes
When trouble is near
Do we stand up and say
No more lies no more tears
Or do we walk away
And close our hearts
To the pain and the suffering we see
It's so easy it comes naturally
We turn our backs on all the misery
Lets not get involved that's the key
But do we open our eyes
When trouble is near
Do we stand up and say
No more lies no more tears
Or do we walk away
But do we open our eyes
When trouble is near
Do we stand up and say
No more lies no more tears
Or do we walk away
Do we walk away
