through these eyes i'v seen love and i've seen hate.i've seen the violance and the tears. through thesse eyes, well i got my schoolin on the streets. i've seen the things in life you don't wanna to see. through these eyes i've seen the shape of things to come and watched them all fall apart. through these eyes, i've seen the broken homes they cry, i've seen the poor man's face as he stands in line...

chorus:
and though my heart has made me weary and the pain it lingers on thruogh the heart it hurts so dearly and the pain it lingers on...

through these eyes i've looked the devil in the face and i've seen god's holy grace
through thses eyes i've tried to walk the straightr line i found myself again, i nearly lost my mind

chorus
