"I won't close my eyes (remix)" by UB40

I won`t close my eyes 
To the sufferers plight. 
In a world full of darkness 
I won`t turn off my light. 

Our cries for justice are shots in the dark 
But our strength`s in our bite 
And not in our bark 
It`s time to stand 
And shout it out loud 
And the louder we scream 
The sweeter the sound. 

(Chorus) 

I won`t close my eyes 
When I know that I`m right 
When I`m drowning in tears 
I won`t turn off my light. 


We`re shown no respect 
But that can`t break our pride, 
When our backs to the wall 
We won`t run and we won`t hide 
It`s time to stand, face the oncoming crowd 
because the louder we scream 
The sweeter the sound. 


(Chorus) 

I wont`t close my eyes 
When the future don`t look bright 
Though the road seems too long 
I won`t turn off my light 
In a world full of darkness, 
I won`t turn off my light
