What I've Seen lyrics

If I told you what I'd seen,

would you believe me or leave me alone?

If I told you what I feel,

would you believe me or leave me alone?

Razor wire on the street every corner,

90 degrees at six in the morning,

Boilin’ water for the tea of the nation,

Plantin’ seeds for the next generation.

Run like mad just to make a connection,

Pack what you need for your own protection.

Dance to the rythm of the wheels on the street,

Long, long strides on the hot concrete.

[Refrain]

Hello?

Hello?

Does anybody need a place to go?

To call your own? [x2]

Numbers go, and the numbers come,

Try your best makin’ two out of one,

Work all day in the midday sun,

Break your back till the night time comes,

Sing for your bread and sing for your water,

Sing for your sons and sing for your daughters,

Sing your pops and sing for your mommas,

Sing for your breakfast, pray for your supper

[Refrain]

Yeah, yeah

Don’t leave me here alone [x3]

Don’t leave me here alone

[Refrain x2]

[Refrain x2]

Would you believe me?

Would you believe me?

You’re not alone

No, you’re not alone

Would you believe me?

Would you believe me?

I know you’re alone

But you’re not alone.
