The war
The anguish
The despair
They see pollution
The earth starting to be destroyed
One by one
But open your eyes!
Some of us are not the ones fighting for lives
We are not all the ones suffering with depression
We can not imagine what they feel
Open your eyes!
It is our fault this is happening
It is our fault the earth is being destroyed
We are all to blame
It is all of our faults
Open your eyes!
We an stop this
We can stop the deaths of innocent men and women
We can save the lives of those who should still be living
We can, we can
But we don’t
Open your eyes!
Don’t be so naïve and pretend you don’t see a thing
We all contribute to this disaster we should all contribute to end it
If we try
If we know that we have to stand up
If we all open our eyes
