I Saw It With My Own Eyes
I saw it with my own eyes
The way everyone bends
To please their “friends”
Their values slain
So these friends remain
I see it with my own eyes
I heard it with my own ears
How the people we trust
Spontaneously combust
To spread secrets and rumors
To appease their consumers
I hear it with my own ears
I felt it in my own heart
Why must this occur—
Trading what we were
And to the pressure we yield
Becoming a fortress that shields
I feel it with my own heart
I knew it in my own soul
When I decided to never allow
To never bend nor bow
Because to build a wall and hide
Is safer than showing what lays inside
I know it in my own soul
I see it with my own eyes
I hear it with my own ears
I feel it in my own heart
I know it in my own soul
I saw it with my own eyes
