[Verse 1]
Can't see faith through the tears of my swollen eyes
I try to dry
I pretend it's not as bad as it seems
What a lie!
How can we be so blind?
Every time a child dies
People are starving, rainforests are falling
The bombs are dropping from the sky

[Chorus]
I don't know why it sticks in my head!
I close my eyes, and it hurts me so bad!
I don't know why it sticks in my head!
I close my eyes, close my eyes!
I close my eyes

[Verse 2]
I look away from this misery
And I hope the problem will disappear
But it still hurts me every time
A child dies
It's like a knife you stab in my heart
And twist it, twist it, twist it around

[Chorus]
I don't know why it sticks in my head!
I close my eyes, and it hurts me so bad!
I don't know why it sticks in my head!
I close my eyes, I close my eyes!
[Interlude]
They're believed to be very heavily armed. They have about a hundred artillery guns and sixty tanks. Now commanders here expect the fighting in Kunduz to be the heaviest of this campaign so far. What's happening at the moment is Northern Alliance commanders are in touch with some of the Taliban fighters there. They're trying to engineer some defections, but it's still not clear if the hardcore Taliban fighters, the Uzbeks, the Pakistanis, will accept any surrender terms.

[Chorus]
I don't know why it sticks in my head!
I close my eyes, and it hurts me so bad!
I don't know why it sticks in my head!
I close my eyes, I close my eyes!

[Outro]
I close my eyes, I close my eyes!
I close my eyes, I close my eyes!
I close my eyes, I close my eyes!
I close my eyes, I close my eyes
