In the silence of the night, can you hear the cries?   Can you feel suffering?      In the eyes of young America, the tears begin to fall   The streets are filled with predators and broken hearts   Shot down and left for dead, so victimless crime   Those satellites are watching everything decline      Words have been spoken, promises broken   Tears in the eyes of the world   Anger, frustration, mind manipulation   Tears in the eyes of the world      Can you feel the suffering?   IF you have ears, let them hear; if you have eyes, let them see   Can you feel?      In your face another tragedy, another waste of life   Your sanity will push the image from your mind   Cut down in agony, this culture of death   A trail of pain that takes away your very breath      Dying traditions, selfish ambitions   Tears in the eyes of the world   Anger, frustration, sheer desperation   Tears in the eyes of the world      There's no vision, there's no life   Is there time to get it right?   Tears in the eyes of the world   Will the sun refuse to shine?   Will the stars fall from the sky?   Tears in the eyes of the world      In the silence of the night, can you hear the cries?   Tears in the eyes of the world   Can you feel the suffering, can you pay the price?   Tears in the eyes of the world
