As performed in the musical "tommy" With alistair robins as mr. walker Written by pete townsend Alistair: this can't continue It makes no sense We're getting nowhere I've lost all my confidence The boy wants something Unsatisfied He needs attention And care our love can't provide And then, there's the matter of us I'd like to prove That i don't think you've seen the best of me I've stood up for the boy And i've clung to the hopes and the lies I wished that the pain in your gaze Could again be a test of me But when i look in the mirror I believe my own eyes I believe my own eyes Now i've come to the end All my patience is gone When i'm doubtful i tend To believe my own eyes Kim: i'd like to declare This devotion and care is a life to live That nothing has changed And the time isn't pa**ing us by But i have to say here That for us there is a clear-cut alternative When we look at eachother We believe our own eyes Both: i believe my own eyes Now i've come to the end All my patience is gone When i'm doubtful i tend To believe my own eyes This has gone far enough After all we've been through We can be brave We done all we can humanly do It's a time to be tough A time to be wise We must stop chasing our dreams and recover our lives I believe my own eyes Now i've come to the end All my patience is gone When i'm doubtful i tend To believe... I'd like to believe But i don't think that we've seen the best of us And a way to believe is to see where the real future lies I hope that the pain in your gaze can again be a test of me And when i look in the mirror I believe my own eyes Let's believe our own eyes No we've come to the end All our patience is gone Let's admit we intend to believe our own eyes Kim: ... to believe our own eyes
