It's hard to believe what we see Time after time, the pain and the sorrow And someday we'll say let it be They hide their eyes and turn from the sorrow Time after time, we share the crime Time after time we turn away What does it take to show that you care? Open your eyes, for life we all share Time after time, we share the crime Time after time we turn away And is it hard to think of this As a world full of sorrow and shame It surely will change when we open our hearts It's so easy to help when all is said They're born, they breed, and hurt like us It's hard to believe what we see (time after time) Time after time, the pain and the sorrow And someday we'll say let it be (time after time) They hide their eyes and turn from the sorrow Time after time, we share the crime Time after time we turn away Time after time, we share the crime Time after time we turn away
