Jimi Jamison - Can't Look Away lyrics

See the child, dresses in rags in the street Cold and homeless Too weak to ask for just one scrap of food to survive War, torn lives, shed their innoncent blood On the pavement As we all shake our heads from our ivory towers Making righteous remarks as we're wasting the hours I hate what I see but I can't look away From the trainwreck we watch From our armchairs each day Are we powerless pawns in the games people play I try and blind myself to the pain But I can't, no i can't look away Kids in school, learning lessons in life Love and laughter Such precious j**els, with a future so bright Dreams so tall An aimless soul, open fire, roos the world Makes his exit As we wonder what force could have turned him so wild He was quiet, he was shy He was somebodys child I hate what I see but I can't look away From the trainwreck we watch From our armchairs each day Are we powerless pawns in the games people play I try and blind myself to the pain Disconnect my heart from my brain But I can't, no I can't look away We can't stand idly by No we can't look away And let one more child die, no! As we all shake our heads from our ivory towers Making righteous remarks as we're wasting the hours I hate what I see but I can't look away From the trainwreck we watch From our armchairs each day Are we powerless pawns in the games people play I try and blind myself to the pain Disconnect my heart from my brain If we're gonna change a world gone insane We just can't, no we can't, no I can't look away
