Earth, Wind And Fire - They Don't See Lyrics






They don't see what ya are to me
Guiding light for all to see
Saw a man the other day
Said he was givin' up his babe
Gonna turn his back on god
Make his day twice as hard

People say I'm a fool
But can I really be
Say it really was white misery

Protestant, and Catholic, Arabs and the Jews
Gonna turn your back on God
But is it really true
Woman on the corner
She brings tears to my eyes
I really hate to see people ruinin' their lives

Well I'm readin' the news
Ain't nothin' changed, ain't nothin' new
Pain comes down like the fallin' rain
But you saw it and don't feel the same
When ya love, love with all your heart
From the very start...

Earth, Wind And Fire They Don't See Comments
  1. D.... k....

    Reminds me of when I was 11 or 12 years old. I first entered intercity school's, after years of being bussed to white suburban schools. It was rough.

  2. M.... S....

    The name of the song is “They Don’t SEE” not they don’t see you.

  3. M.... S....

    “Woman on the corner, she bring tears to my eyes, I really hate to see, people ruin their lives”. Wow, just wow is all I can say.

  4. M.... S....

    NOBODY like EWF, PERIOD! And as a drummer and a bassist myself, you hear “licks” and Reese is killing on the drums (not to mention Verdine and Roland, Ralph, Jessica, Phillip,Larry, and the great Ronny Laws!) and yes, he was once a member of EWF BEFORE Andrew Woolfolk.

    Swoon units - Digable planets ⏭ brought me here 👽

    They don't see what ya are to me
    Guiding light...

    Saw a man the other day
    Said he was givin' up his faith
    Gonna turn his back on God
    Make his way twice as hard

    People say I'm a fool
    But can I really be?
    Say if it really was
    A White Misery

    They don't see what ya are to me
    Guiding light for all to see

    Protestant and Catholic
    Arabs and the Jew
    Gonna turn your back on God
    But is it really true?

    Woman on the corner
    She bring tears to my eyes
    I really hate to see
    People ruinin' their lives

    They don't see what ya are to me
    Guiding light for all...

    Woman on the corner
    She bring tears to my eyes
    I really hate to see
    People ruinin' their lives

    They don't see what ya are to me
    Guiding light for all...

    Well...I'm readin' the news
    Ain't nothin' changed
    Ain't nothin' improved

    Pain comes down
    Like the falling rain
    But your soul
    Don't feel the same

    When you love
    Love with all your heart
    Give love
    From the very start...

    Thanks for posting another gem from EWF, a beautiful cover of the original. Lyrics are accurate except one change : "said he was giving up his faith"

    J.... ....

    Also "said if it really was WHY THE MISERY" peace :)

    J.... ....

    VEVO? Where are the rest of the lyrics?! "Woman on the corner, she brings tears to my eyes, really hate to see people ruining lives" ... Really VEVO?

    J.... ....

    Might be "if I really was, what a misery" ??
    Gorgeous poem any way... <3

    LuLu Santos - The actual lyrics are:  "Say if it really was A WHITE MISERY."  "White Misery" is a poem by Terry A. O'Neal.

    I used to be a white man
    With a grin from ear to ear
    Until one day the night cried it's teardrops upon me
    Now I'm a black man just as black as I can be.
