Those Who Have Eyes Lyrics

[based on "Those Who have Eyes to See Will See" by Willie Christopher
Tucker]

 

 Eight months pregnant.

 Homeless crack addict

 from the south side of town.

 Angel All alone.

 

 Can't decide

 If to confide.

 

 Caught in a lifestyle

 for which she knows no relief. 

 Day after day,

 Night after night,

 utterly impoverished

 surrounded by filth. 

 Depressed,

 and wishing she were dead.

 

 Low self- esteem,

 only seventeen.

 

 Been molested,

 been raped,

 been beaten to the ground 

 been molested,

 been raped,

 by the men that promised 

 to keep her safe and sound.

 

 Low self- esteem,

 only seventeen.

 

 Forced to sell her body

 and tormented soul - 

 Depressed,

 and wishing she were dead.

 

 Talking to her unborn child -

 no one else listens to what she says. 

 "How long God must I suffer this way,

 Please don't force me to endure another day"

 

 Angel is pregnant -

 baby, one month due. 

 I remember her say -

 those who have eyes to see

 Will see.

 

 In what she said

 I surmised

 That look on her face -

 with tears in her eyes.

 

 To escape her pain

 she decides life ain't worth livin'.

 Angel walks into the path

 of the Marta Train,

 The nine forty- five.
