"When You See Their Eyes" was played on xm radio's Bluesville program on
the third anniversry of Katrina. Thanks, Bill Wax!

Here are the lyrics-

WHEN YOU SEE THEIR EYES



I don't know-but I've been told

The gates to heaven are paved in gold

But there's some folks-down along the coast

They've spent some time in Hell on Earth, God bless their souls

When I see-their misery

I can't hide-what's inside



You just wanna cry-when you see their eyes

You feel like dying-When you see their eyes

You wonder why-when you see their eyes

They've lost everything except their faith and pride

When you see their eyes



I've been up-and I've been down

The avenues of many towns

It's so sad-what I have found, people in the

Street , no food to eat, they can't lay down

It's plain to see-their misery

A broken smile tries to survive



You just wanna cry-when you see their eyes

You feel like dying-when you see their eyes

You wonder why-when you see their eyes

With no body there to comfort them at night

When you see their eyes



Thru many years and all the wars

Humanity-has been torn

Conquistadors-they reap the spoils, but refugees

Are left to weep for their families

Not hard to see-their misery

They're terrified-of genocide



You just wanna cry-when you see their eyes

You feel like dying-when you see their eyes

You wonder why-when you see their eyes

Their hope is for a savior to arrive

When you see their eyes
