Can't Look Away 歌词

See the child, dresses in rags in the street, Cold and homeless, Too weak to ask for just one scrap of food to survive, War, torn lives, shed their innoncent blood, On the pavement, As we all shake our heads from our ivory towers, Making righteous remarks as we're wasting the hours. I hate what I see but I can't look away, From the trainwreck we watch, From our armchairs each day, Are we powerless pawns in the games people play, I try and blind myself to the pain, But I can't, no i can't look away. Kids in school, learning lessons in life, Love and laughter, Such precious jewels, with a future so bright, Dreams so tall, An aimless soul, open fire, roos the world, Makes his exit, As we wonder what force could have turned him so wild, He was quiet, he was shy, He was somebodys child. I hate what I see but I can't look away, From the trainwreck we watch, From our armchairs each day, Are we powerless pawns in the games people play, I try and blind myself to the pain, Disconnect my heart from my brain, But I can't, no I can't look away. We can't stand idly by, No we can't look away, And let one more child die, no! As we all shake our heads from our ivory towers, Making righteous remarks as we're wasting the hours. I hate what I see but I can't look away, From the trainwreck we watch, From our armchairs each day, Are we powerless pawns in the games people play, I try and blind myself to the pain, Disconnect my heart from my brain, If we're gonna change a world gone insane, We just can't, no we can't, no I can't look away.
