Stars

I've seen the eyes you're leading blind
 I've heard the lies you hide behind
 I've seen the way that you ignore
 (The lost, the hopeless, and the poor)
 I've heard about a million screams
 I've seen a thousand broken dreams
 I've read the news about your reign
 (The lies, the promise, and the blame)
 What would it take for you to see
 The world through their eyes
 Lost and alone
 Can't you hear their cries
 What would I give for them to see
 The world from the skies
 So full of hope
 With stars in their eyes
 I've heard how you manipulate
 I've seen the way they've been betrayed
 I know the pain that they feel
 (The meek, the broken, and the ill)
 (The lost, the hopeless, and the poor)
 (The lies, the promise, and the blame)
 What would it take for you to see
 The world through their eyes
 Lost and alone
 Can't you hear their cries
 What would I give for them to see
 The world from the skies
 So full of hope
 With stars in their eyes
 [The Earth is a very small stage
 In a vast cosmic arena
 Think of the rivers of blood
 Spilled by all those generals and emperors
 So that in glory and triumph they can become the momentary masters
 Of a fraction of a dot
 Think of the endless cruelties visited
 By the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel
 On the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants
 Of some other corner
 How frequent their misunderstandings
 How eager they are to kill one another
 How fervent their hatreds]
 Silence the voices of those you oppress
 We'll rise up and transgress
 Condemn the choices of those you oppose
 We will not be controlled
 Silence the voices of those you oppress
 We'll rise up and transgress
 Condemn the choices of those you oppose
 We will not be controlled
 What would it take for you to see
 The world through their eyes
 Lost and alone
 Can't you hear their cries
 What would I give for them to see
 The world from the skies
 So full of hope
 With stars in their eyes
