Through These Eyes

I can't believe it 
Was it just a dream? 
Or did I reach out 
And stand inside a world of make believe? 
Life moves slowly 
Tracks worn thin with time 
Millions homeless 
Bellies swollen till they're barely still alive 

Through these eyes 
I can see clearly now 
Through these eyes 
I can see clearly now 

The refugee stands on the highway 
The wheels of fortune turn 
And we all fall down 
There's an actor in the White House 
While the statesman waits with Ceasar's blade 

We talk of Star Wars 
Like some childrens game 
We give them wheat to live 
Sell the arms 
Just to kill again 
We have the know how 
In a perfect world 
We're at the crossroads 
And the chance we have 
May never come again 

Through these eyes 
I can see clearly now 
Through these eyes 
I can see clearly now
