Redemption - Parker's Eyes Lyrics
Look at youYou haven't seen anythingYour eyes so white and pureWithout a trace of redNo signs of self-abuse thereAnd no tears have yet been shedJust purePure white eyesLook at youYou don't know anythingNot what the towers looked likeOn September tenthAnd words like hate and death and politicsMean nothing yetThey're soundsThey're only soundsOnce, long ago I was youngAnd I saw the world through innocent eyesLike a childBut those memories are faded nowAnd all that I can see is our despairLook at youYou don't fear anythingNot loss of job, or loss of faithOr loss of self, you're not afraidYou're not afraid of anythingNot even death itselfLook at youYou haven't learned anythingNot all that people doIn every single wayTo hurt each other, harm each other, kill each other every dayBut you willAnd nothing I can say or do will stop youOnce, long agoWe were youngAnd we saw the world through innocent eyesLike a childBut those memories are faded nowAnd all that we can see is our despairAnd now I finally understandWhy we're told to suffer the little childrenThey're what we were before we fellSweet unruined innocence
