Look Into My Eyes (dedicated to Palestine)

By Gihad Ali, performed by Outlandish

Look into my eyes Tell me what ya see
U don't see a damn thing 'cause u can't relate to me

U blinded by our differences My life makes no sense to u
I'm the persecuted one U the red, white and blue

Each day u wake in tranquility No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude Thankin' God He let me rise

Ya worry 'bout your education And the bills u have to pay
I worry 'bout my vulnerable life And if I'll survive another day

Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket As ya cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that's just left Will turn around and come back

Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows Has our world gone all blind
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows Some one tell me

Oh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day it's through
Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters

Oh shine a light for every soul That ain't with us no more
Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters

See I've known terror for quite some times 57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe It's the check point on my way to school

Terror is the robbery of my land And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father The bullet in my baby brother

The bulldozers and the tanks The gasses and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door All due to your funds

You blame me for defending myself Against the ways of my enemies
I'm terrorized in my own land And I'm the terrorist

American do ya realize That the taxes that u pay
Feed the forces that traumatize My every living day

So if I won't be here tomorrow It's written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day The end of our wait
