lyrics

She was born on the wrong side of the fence
Wearing scars from a culture of violence
Far too young to already have carried the cross
No escape, feeling hopelessly at a loss

Ready to cross the line
Had nowhere else to hide
She heard a voice that spoke
From somewhere deep inside of her:

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind
The whole world blind, the whole world blind……

He was born on the other side
Full of fear and full of pride
Fighting somebody else’s fight in a time
Where today’s reason becomes tomorrow’s crime

He couldn’t take no more
Was tired of compromise
Looking into her eyes
That’s when he came to realize:

An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind…….
