Hollow Eyes
(专辑: Beat The System - 1984)
[Based on Matthew 25:35-48] Another day in Nigeria the
children beg for bread, The
crops failed, the
well ran dry When they lost the
watershed A
baby dies, its mother cries, the
children gather 'round They're wondering what the
day will bring Will they be the
next one found? Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes, hollow eyes? Are they staring holes in you with their hollow eyes, Hollow eyes, hollow eyes? In the
crowded sheds the
children lay their heads To escape the
Haitian heat The
hunger pains drive them to the
street Wond'ring if today they'll eat Some find food in the
refuse heap, others find disease Some find it harder just to live when they can die with ease. The
least of these is hungry. The
least of these is sick. The
least of these needs clothing. The
least of these needs drink. The
least of these knows sorrow. The
least of these knows grief. The
least of these has suffered pain, and Jesus is His name. Do you dare to gaze into His hollow eyes, hollow eyes? Is He staring back at you with His hollow eyes, Hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
