Can you hear the voice that doesn’t make a sound
Or the cry for help that’s screaming through their eyes Will you give your child excuses for their sadness when they’ve found
That we’re the only mammals left alive
The eagle soaring high above is such a beautiful sight But not as pretty as money in our hands
So we tear down all it’s tress and put skyscraper’s in it’s flight
We clip it’s wings and then we pave it’s land

Can you see the tears in the rain
Can you hear their silent pain
Can you see the damage that you cause
When your eyes aren’t open
Can you see the tears in the rain
Right now we’ve got to make a change
Can’t you see we’re headed for a fall
If our hearts aren’t open at all

Can you hear the sound of the hearts we break each day
When we take their homes, their families and their lives And will you fight their battles or run to higher ground ‘Cause the time has come to finally do what’s right
All the Earth’s inhabitants have the right to live
But rights have no power if not upheld
So stand up for your brothers who can’t stand up for themselves
Just open up your heart and ask yourself

CHORUS

Just because you can’t see their tears, doesn’t mean that they’re not real
So help the rain wash those tears away
Give them back their freedom, their land and dignity
And Mother Nature’s children will be saved

Then you’ll see the tears in the rain
you will hear their silent pain
You’ll repair the damage that you cause Now eyes aren’t open
You will see the tears in the rain
Right now we’ve finally made a change
We’re no longer headed for a fall
