Their eyes still plead |
Lyrics"They don't speak our language.They don't ask for much. Just a scrap of kindness... And the right to live without fear. But some are hunted. Some are shot in the streets. As if they're nothing. But they are not nothing. They are souls. And they are watching us." "Their Eyes Still Plead" (composed and written By Yves Stilmant © 2025 all proceeds to the network for animals) Verse 1 On broken streets, they chase the rain No one knows their given name A tail that once wagged now hangs in dread They sleep on stone, they beg for bread Verse 2 We drive by fast, pretend they're not there But their silence screams through the heavy air They never harmed, they only hoped But hope won't shield them from the scope Pre-Chorus And the bullets fall like thunder And the innocence is torn Tell me how we call this order When compassion's been outworn? Chorus Their eyes still plead through the silence and shame Still look for mercy, still call our name We turn away, hearts growing blind But if we lose them, we lose mankind Verse 3 They were not born to be a threat Just fur and breath and soft regret A heartbeat is a sacred sound So why do we shoot them down? Pre-Chorus They're not the monsters -- look again The mirror cracks with what we defend Chorus Their eyes still plead through the silence and shame Still look for mercy, still call our name We turn away, hearts growing blind But if we lose them, we lose mankind Bridge (spoken/sung hybrid) "You want to see humanity? Look into the eyes of the forgotten. If that doesn't move you... Then maybe we're the ones who need saving." Final Chorus (Explodes with orchestral lift + children's choir) Their eyes still plead, but not for long If we don't rise, we prove them wrong So let love lead, and take a stand A soul's a soul -- no matter the hand Outro (Soft, fading) Their eyes still plead... And I still see them... Do you? |
