All Around You

Look into my eyes
Tell me what ya see
You dont see a damn thing
'Cuz you cant relate to meYou blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to you
Im the persecuted one
You the red, white and blueEach day you wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thankin God, He let me riseYa worry bout your education
And the bills you have to pay
I worry bout my vulnerable life
And if Ill survive another dayYa biggest fear is getting a ticket
As ya cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank thats just left
Will turn around and come backYet do you know the truth of where ya money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth that nobody knows?
Has our world gone all blindYet do you know the truth of where ya money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth that nobody knows?
Some one tell meOh, lets not cry tonight
I promise you one day its through
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sistersOh, shine a light for every soul
That aint with us no more
Oh, oh, oh, my brothers
Oh, oh, oh, my sistersSee, Ive known terror for quite some times
57 years, so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
Its the check point on my way to schoolTerror is the robbery of my land
And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father
The bullet in my baby brotherThe bulldozers and the tanks
The gasses and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door
All due to your fundsYou blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of my enemies
Im terrorized in my own land
And Im the terroristYet do you know the truth of where ya money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth that nobody knows?
Has our world gone all blindYet do you know the truth of where ya money goes?
Do you let the media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth that nobody knows?

Feed the forces that traumatize
My every living daySo if I wont be here tomorrow

May the future bring a brighter day
The end of our waitOh, lets not cry tonight
