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