                                                                                                                             These Eyes / Have seen the darkest of times /

 But they can't look away

 From these eyes / starin' back at me /

 They got  something to say /

 These eyes / Tell the story/

 Of what no one here is willing to say

 2nd vs

 These arms / have always embraced the truth

 Now it all seems so real /

 'Cause these arms / that reach out to me /

 In desperation / for the love of a good meal /

 They pull back / empty handed /

 'Cause I've given my last dime today /

 and it's all too much / The way things are goin today /

 Throughout the land /

 It's all too much  / I'm tryin' /  I said I'm tryin' to understand...

Instrumental break  Hey ... oohh..

refrain

These eyes/ tell the story/

 Of what no one here is willing to say/

 3rd vs

 This heart/ Is getting torn apart /

 It's getting harder to feel /

 These hearts/ That belong to everyone/

 Slowly turning to steel /

 Where everyday / Everyday/

 Just to stay alive is such an ordeal/

 And it's all/ all around us / We just can't deny/

 Like we did yesterday/ 

 It's all around us/

 It's we who decide /

 What we choose to see or ignore/

Vocal break

 It's just a sign of the times/

 And I'm just one step behind them/

 Everywhere I go / I seem to see it  more and more

 There's people fallin/ Through the cracks of life/

 It's getting harder to find / A Little hope in these eyes

 In these eyes

 Tag

 That's why we've  got to try a little harder /

 Shine a little brighter / Share a deeper love/

  A little love and understanding/ with our fellow man

 With these eyes
