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
