Two world wars have ended, our nation recoups - From depression, we've all felt the sting /Still, poor huddled masses in boats are en route - when they reach Ellis Island they sing:
Chorus: Through my eyes, through my eyes, I see a chance to breath free / Through my eyes, I can see, a home for my children to be.
A long suffering people fight prejudice and fear - Their young pastor hears freedom ring / He remembers the past, still he dreams "free at last" - While alone in his jail cell he sings:
Chorus: Through my eyes, through my eyes, I see white men and black men agree / Through my eyes, I can see, the great nation these people could be.
In a land far away, a war rages today - A young girl feels the pain that it brings / While the death-mongers drool, she still walks to school - Every day on her way home she sings:
Chorus: Through my eyes, through my eyes, I se my people live free / Through my eyes, I can see, the great country my homeland should be.
One night, Jesus prayed to His Father in fear, asked God, "Let this cup pass from me"/His Father said, "Son, it's only begun. But soon you will see what I see." /
Chorus 2: Through My eyes, through My eyes, I see the hope You will bring / Through My eyes, I can see, the grateful forgiven take wing / And We'll hear the songs that they sing.
