Eyes as full as the ocean
Don’t close your eyes to the pain
A heart of gold
Let your heart heal the wounded
A soul like no other
Let your soul guide you through
You are open to forgiveness
Traveling through time
Lifetimes over
Nothing has changed
We see the same loss
We know the same devastation
There are some who are forgiving
But more that are unforgiving
We live in the land of hope
But you only have hope
If you feel hope
You have to want things to be
To be different than they were
Every time before
In centuries past
In centuries ahead
Make the change
To begin again
To give our children
and their children
The chance to carry on
To become the things
We could never be
To do the things that we could never do
Through these eyes as full as the ocean
I can see all there is
and all there was
and this time
I want things to be different
Take away the storms that kill
Take away the guns that end lives
Take away the words that send young ones to their deaths
Take away the racism that separate the people
Take away the poverty that leaves those begging
Take away the shame that keep people hidden
Give everyone Eyes as Full as the Ocean
