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
