G C G You know, sometimes I just don’t like living in this world at a-a-allC G D Sometimes, when I read the newspapers, it sickens my soulG C G In the paper this morning there was a photograph on page three-e-eC G D G Of Daniel smiling, Daniel smiling smiling at me. [Verse 2]G C G He was black-eyed and beaten, bruised, abused and aba-a-asedC G D His life-story written for all to read on his faceG C G But still without hate, as only young children can be-e-eC G D G He was smiling. He was smiling, smiling at me. [Chorus]G C G Ah the look in his eyesC G The hope in his eyesC G D G And the trust in his eyes changed us all.[Verse 3]G C G They say the bastard who killed him, he lived through the very same he-e-ellC G D And that terror and pain were his childhood companions as wellG C G But brutalized children become adults who then brutali-i-izeC G D G It’s not surprising. It’s not surprising that Daniel died. [Verse 4]G C G Now the experts who say this, those professional prophets of careC G D Those who counted the bruises, who catalogued when, why and whereG C G When they've satisfied, their own narrow job protoco-o-olC G D G They did nothing. They did nothing, nothing at all. [Chorus]G C G Ah the look in his eyesC G The hope in his eyesC G D G And the trust in his eyes changed us all. [Verse 5]G C G Now, we invented the system so we’d always have something to blameC G D And next week, or next month, when the system fails us againG C G When I open my paper that morning, I know what I’ll seeC G D G Another Daniel. Another Daniel, smiling at me. [Chorus]G C G Ah the look in his eyesC G The hope in his eyesC G D G And the trust in his eyes changed us all.
