Pretty Maids - With these Eyes
Life is running slowly through our hands
fade away like footsteps in the sand, passing by us
And all our vision went astray
we're living with the scars of yesterday, to remind us
We look the other way,
we're blind to what surrounds us
and no one seems to care
We dream of better days
'cause everyone's got their own cross to bear
ain't it so... oooh I guess it is...
With these eyes I have seen,
wasted lives and broken dreams
With this heart I have felt,
how we seem to please ourselves
We need new dreams tonight
like the stars need the sky
We need love and sympathy
I need you and you need me
Look upon the homeless in the street,
see the pain of those in need, all those empty faces
Think about the selfish way we live
how we take and never give
somehow some things never change
The man behind the fence
he's got nothing left to live for
the wheels are standing still
And the beggar on the bench
is lost for hope and he knows
it's the loneliness that kills
With these eyes I have seen,
wasted lives and broken dreams
With this heart I have felt,
how we seem to please ourselves
We need new dreams tonight
like the stars need the sky
We need love and sympathy
I need you and you need me
Somebody take me, show me the way
to the end of the world, where Paradise begins
With these eyes,
with this heart,
I have seen,
many lives torn apart
With these eyes I have seen,
wasted lives and broken dreams
With this heart I have felt,
how we seem to please ourselves
We need new dreams tonight
like the stars need the sky
We need love and sympathy
I need you and you need me
