I won't close my eyes to the sufferer's plight
In a whirlpool of your pain, I won't turn out my light
I'll cry for justice, I'll shout in the dark
But as dread's in our path, and night in our path
It's time to stand, and shout it out loud
And the louder we scream, the sweeter the sound
Baby
I won't close my eyes when I know that I'm right
When I'm drowning in tears, I won't turn out my light
We show 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 stand, face the oncoming cry
Because the louder we scream, the sweeter the sound
I won't close my eyes when the future don't look bright
Oh the road seems to lie, I won't turn out my light
In a whirlpool of darkness, I won't turn out my light
Yeah
I won't turn out my light
I won't turn out my light
I won't turn out my light
