ICON - Eyes Of A Prisoner (Dan Wexler, Jerry Harrison)


Lonely children,
Waiting for the night
Looking for reasons
If only to survive
Some runaways
Left behind to make their way
But you are the fortunate one
Who'll break the chains
And make them stay home

What do we see?
Looking in the eyes of those who'll never be
The same as you and me

The EYES OF A PRISONER
Is what you'll find
The EYES OF A PRISONER
Seem to be left behind

The angry city
We've reached the danger zone
A town without pity
A child without a home

What do they see?
Looking in our eyes can we pretend to be
untouched by what we see?

The EYES OF A PRISONER
Is what you'll find
The EYES OF A PRISONER
Seem to be left behind

The EYES OF A PRISONER
What are they searching for?
The EYES OF A PRISONER
You know they're deserving more

Will they reach the light of day?
Will they make a better way?
Can we hold an open hand?
Will they understand?

(Guitar Solo)

Runaways
Left behind to make their way
What can we say
Are they criminals?
What is it wrong
Or do we know
How can we see, see it in

The EYES OF A PRISONER
What will we find?
The EYES OF A PRISONER
Seem to be left behind

The EYES OF A PRISONER
What are they searching for?
The EYES OF A PRISONER
You know they're deserving more

The EYES OF A PRISONER
Is what you'll find
The EYES OF A PRISONER
Seem to be left behind

The EYES OF A PRISONER
What are they searching for?
The EYES OF A PRISONER
You know they're deserving more
