I Won't Close My Eyes Lyrics

I won't close my eyes

To the sufferers plight.

In a world full of darkness

I won't turn off my light.

Our cries for justice are shots in the dark

But our strength's in our bite

And not in our bark

It's time to stand

And shout it out loud

And the louder we scream

The sweeter the sound.

(Chorus)

I won't close my eyes

When I know that I'm right

When I'm drowning in tears

I won't turn off my light.

We're shown no respect

But that can't break our pride,

When our backs to the wall

We won't run and we won't hide

It's time to stand, face the oncoming crowd

because the louder we scream

The sweeter the sound.

(Chorus)

I wont't close my eyes

When the future don't look bright

Though the road seems too long

I won't turn off my light

In a world full of darkness,

I won't turn off my light
