My Eyes Have Seen Songtext
von Grant‐Lee Phillips

A line that any child could trace
A beacon dimmed tired turned away
Footsteps between asylum and the cage
The history books may hide this shameful page

But my eyes have seen
My eyes have seen
My eyes have seen

On foil blankets strewn beneath the bridge
The sleepless and the desperate are hid
The mighty with our dogs and razor wire
A fence around the country where you live


My eyes have seen
My eyes have seen
My eyes have seen
My eyes have seen

And all these prideful slogans are but cloth
Our hands are stained, the color′s comin' off
The lies we tell ourselves devour us
Until we can′t remember what is lost

My eyes have seen
My eyes have seen
My eyes have seen
My eyes have seen
