What I See

I see a planet that's glowing red
I see the millions burning in their beds
I see the beauty that might have been
torn from the future by hungry men
I have the same dream every night
I wake up shaking in the morning light
I don't know what could be expected of me
I only know that I believe what i see

and you -- do you see what I see
yeah you -- do you see what I see

this isn't quite the way I thought it would be
it seems they want to make a symbol of me
I have the power that can keep us alive
it's a sugar coated pill and it's bitter inside
I have the same dream every night
I wake up shaking in the morning light
I don't know what could be expected of me
I only know that I believe what i see

and you -- do you see what I see
yeah you -- do you see what I see
