lyrics

these eyes have seen the glory of man
these hands have toiled on towards the plan
and in the eyes of God do you believe
I am a saint or I am a thief?

your girls have laboured since they were children
your girls will breed a revolution
and in the eyes of God do you believe
they are the mothers or the enemy?

day breaks and your humble servants praise your name
day breaks, they raise their weapons, take their aim
and in the eyes of God do you believe
they are the shepherds, or are they the sheep?

these eyes have seen the glory of man
these eyes have seen the glory of man
these eyes have seen the glory of man
these eyes have seen the glory of man
