Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The eyes, re-arrange it... they see
So, i see, i see./ deep down inside
I see something in your eyes,
Some of them truth, some of them lies
Nobody knows where the truthfully lies
So many things happening in disguise
Some of them truth, some of them lies
Nobody knows where the truthfully lies
So many things happening in disguise
But i know how youre feeling today
And i know what they've been flinging away a
Like say...
Like once upon a time
People start to suffer...
Just because say some other people dem dey maga
They start to take advantage of the people hey
I c this happening around the world today
REPEAT x2
But everybody know its all in the eyes
Everything is all in the eyes
In the eyes i see devil
I see evil In the eyes you see happiness, you see joy and sorow In the eyes you see sadness, you see madness, you see all the things that has been to be seen through the eyes
Na the mirror to the soul, the power to control
REPEAT See life is the master of this eyes
As it comes with falasy in disguise yeh
Sometimes, you c birds, sometimes its butterfly
This is something that i just dey realise
I see, so many things... wey dey pain me

Some police dem shooting; innocent people wey do nothing
I c christians and muslims praying
Dem praying for one lovee
Dem praying for harmony
Dem praying for unity

All i c is so so one loving
