Verse
G C G
You know, sometimes I just don’t like living in this world at a-a-all
C G D
Sometimes, when I read the newspapers, it sickens my soul
G C G
In the paper this morning there was a photograph on page three-e-e
C G D G
Of Daniel smiling, Daniel smiling smiling at me.
[Verse 2]
G C G
He was black-eyed and beaten, bruised, abused and aba-a-ased
C G D
His life-story written for all to read on his face
G C G
But still without hate, as only young children can be-e-e
C G D G
He was smiling. He was smiling, smiling at me.
[Chorus]
G C G
Ah the look in his eyes
C G
The hope in his eyes
C G D G
And the trust in his eyes changed us all.
[Verse 3]
G C G
They say the bastard who killed him, he lived through the very same he-e-ell
C G D
And that terror and pain were his childhood companions as well
G C G
But brutalized children become adults who then brutali-i-ize
C G D G
It’s not surprising. It’s not surprising that Daniel died.
[Verse 4]
G C G
Now the experts who say this, those professional prophets of care
C G D
Those who counted the bruises, who catalogued when, why and where
G C G
When they've satisfied, their own narrow job protoco-o-ol
C G D G
They did nothing. They did nothing, nothing at all.
[Chorus]
G C G
Ah the look in his eyes
C G
The hope in his eyes
C G D G
And the trust in his eyes changed us all.
[Verse 5]
G C G
Now, we invented the system so we’d always have something to blame
C G D
And next week, or next month, when the system fails us again
G C G
When I open my paper that morning, I know what I’ll see
C G D G
Another Daniel. Another Daniel, smiling at me.
[Chorus]
G C G
Ah the look in his eyes
C G
The hope in his eyes
C G D G
And the trust in his eyes changed us all.
