Through A Mother’s Eyes歌词完整版

Heartbroken, a mother’s words are spoken

bringing up a baby in a world that is unjust

with tears on her face, she says, when will my boy because of race

Go from innocent to being framed as dangerous

All I want is to connect, to love and have respect

Tell me when did our humanity, our sanity get trained out of us

Try, try, to see it through a mother’s eyes

Our sons and daughters are suffering

Rise, rise, open your eyes

can you hear my plea, have the courage to see

Through a mother’s eyes

It wasn’t that long ago, a white mother revealed during Jim Crow

We’re at a Sunday picnic, our children by our side

For entertainment and control our husbands hung a black child from a pole

To save our own we sat there screaming inside but did not cry out horrified

Shoved it down deep, closed our eyes and went to sleep

for generations to carry the pain inside, bury the shame and deny, while the truth cries

Try, try, to see it through a mother’s eyes

Our sons and daughters are suffering

Rise, rise, open your eyes

Can you hear my plea, have the courage to see

Through a mother’s eyes

And these words echo still, from the mother of Emmett Till

Open my son’s casket show the world this racist crime

lay him out in my living room, my agony for all to view

With hopes there will be change this time

If this was your child, you would be screaming why

no longer blind

Bridge

If you faced it, if you really faced it you would have to do something

If you faced it, you would have to

Rise, stop the suffering

Try, together we can reclaim our humanity

Through a mother’s eyes
