Ub40 - I Won't Close My Eyes (remix) lyrics

(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 stand, face 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
