Two world wars have ended, our nation recoups - From depression, we've all felt the sting

Still, poor huddled masses in boats are en route - when they reach Ellis Island they sing:

Through my eyes, through my eyes, I see a chance to breath free

Through my eyes, I can see, a home for my children to be.

A long suffering people fight prejudice and fear - Their young pastor hears freedom ring

He remembers the past, still he dreams "free at last" - While alone in his jail cell he sings:

Through my eyes, through my eyes, I see white men and black men agree

Through my eyes, I can see, the great nation these people could be.

In a land far away, a war rages today - A young girl feels the pain that it brings

While the death-mongers drool, she still walks to school - Every day on her way home she sings:

Through my eyes, through my eyes, I se my people live free

Through my eyes, I can see, the great country my homeland should be.

One night, Jesus prayed to His Father in fear, asked God, "Let this cup pass from me".

His Father said, "Son, it's only begun. But soon you will see what I see."

Through My eyes, through My eyes, I see the hope You will bring

Through My eyes, I can see, the grateful forgiven take wing

And We'll hear the songs that they sing.
