[Intro]
Em C Em C
[Verse 1]
Em C
See the child, dressed in rags in the street, cold and homeless
Em C
Too weak to ask for just one scrap of food to survive
D
War-torn lives shed their innocent blood on the pavement
C
As we all shake our heads from our ivory towers
A N.C.
Making righteous remarks as we're wasting the hours
[Chorus]
Em D C
I hate what I see, but I can't look away
Em D C
From the train-wreck we watch, from our armchairs each day
G D F C
Are we powerless pawns in the games people play
Am Bm
I try and blind myself to the pain
N.C. Bm N.C. Em C Em D A
But I can't, no I can't, no I can't look away
[Verse 2]
Em C
Kids in school, learning lessons in life, love and laughter
Em C
Such precious jewels with a future so bright, dreams so tall
D
An aimless soul, opens fire, rocks the world, makes his exit
C
As we wonder what force could have turned him so wild
A N.C.
He was quiet, he was shy, he was somebody's child
[Chorus]
Em D C
I hate what I see, but I can't look away

We can't stand idly by

And let one more child die, no
