From the recording Your Word is Magic
Lyrics
Eye For An Eye
© Vaughn Penn
My eyes have done their share of drying
My minds been preoccupied
My life feels like a black bird flying
Towards a resting place on a wire
My ears sting deaf from destruction
my hands shakes cold from numb
My back breaks from people's perceptions
where judgments and grudges are hung
Chorus:
But I'm not going to hate - Even if I ache inside
I'm not going to hurt someone - Even if it's justified
I'm not going to lie - Even if I've been deceived
An eye for an eye is not the life I choose to lead
Has the cost of freedom been forgotten
has the price of peace been banned
I believe love lives deep inside
the brotherhood of man
Chorus:
I'm calling on sad souls and seekers
adhere to the Saints of men
Like Martin - Ghandi & Jesus
we shall all learn to forgive
Chorus:
