Through these eyes I've seen love and I've seen hate   I've seen the violence and the tears   Through these eyes, I got my schooling on the streets   I've seen the things in life you don't wanna see   Through these eyes I've seen the shape of things to come   and I've 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   On a road less travelled on   Through 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 these eyes, I've tried to walk the straighter line   I found myself again, I nearly lost my mind      chorus:
