Lyrics
Mama, Did you lie to me?
You said heaven's underneath my feet.
Mama, I see differently
Children holding guns, marching down my street.
Suffering tears me apart when I hear it.
How can you look at the world and not fear it?
And tell me your explanation:
I Don't See With My Eyes
They can tell me lies
And my vision gets calcified.
I don't see with my eyes
Hearts are better guides
And like children do, stay open to a view
Boundless as the sky
I don't see with my eyes.
Mama, you inspire me
Think it's seeping straight into my soul
Mama, the revelation's coming
Seeing with your heart makes a half-life whole.
Now I'll try to never forget it
When I tell others the way that you said it
I'll give them your explanation:
I don't see with my eyes
They can tell me lies
And my vision gets calcified
I don't see with my eyes
Hearts are better guides
And like children do, stay open to a view
Boundless as the sky
I don't see with my eyes
