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