If You Could See

Choking on headlines Struggling to breathe No god to turn to No faith to believe I started praying to someone Felt them praying back at me Looking upon me With their future eyes to see How's it looking down there love? How's it feel to be free? How's it looking down there love? Saying 'what will be will be' Free in the slipstream Waves dancing in my ears I was hoping for answers I was open to hear How's it looking up there son Now all the sorrow's done How's it looking up there son Now all them wars been won?' I heard them say "If you could see what I've seen If I could show you my view You would pick up the fight now Just like you've got to do If you had seen what I've seen If I could show you my world You would pick up the fight now Just like you know you should" Stuck in the middle Caught in the times One life got to live it Say I, me, mine How's it looking out there child Way across the sea How's it looking out there child Living so far away from me I heard them say "If you could see what I've seen If I could show you my view You would pick up the fight now Just like you've got to do If you had seen what I've seen If I could show you my world You would pick up the fight now Just like you know you should" Bonds to be broken Minds to be won I picked up my pen I drew the gun
