I Won't Close My Eyes

I won't close my eyes
To the sufferers plight.
In a world full of sadness
I won't turn off my light.
Our cries for justice are shots in the dark
But our strength's in our bite
And not in our bark
It's time to stand
And shout it out loud
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
I won't close my eyes
When I know that I'm right
When I'm drowning in tears
I won't turn off my light.

I won't close my eyes
To the sufferers plight.
In a world full of sadness
I won't turn off my light.
Our cries for justice are shots in the dark
But our strength's in our bite
And not in our bark
It's time to stand
And shout it out loud
And the louder we scream
The sweeter the sound.
I won't close my eyes
When I know that I'm right
When I'm drowning in tears
I won't turn off my light.
