Ub40 - I Won't Close My Eyes lyrics

rate me

(chorus)

I won`t close my eyes

To the sufferers plight.

In a world full of sadness

I won`t turn off my light.

Our cries for justice are shots in the dark

But our strength`s in our bite

And not in our bark

It`s time to stand

And shout it out loud

And the louder we scream

The sweeter the sound.

(chorus)

I won`t close my eyes

When I know that i`m right

When i`m drowning in tears

I won`t turn off my light.

We`re shown no respect

But that can`t break our pride

When our backs to the wall

We won`t run and we won`t hide

It`s time to standface the oncoming crowd

And the louder we scream

The sweeter the sound.

(chorus)

I wont`t close my eyes

When the future don`t look bright

Though the road seems too long

I won`t turn off my light

In a world full of darkness

I won`t turn off my light
