I see a planet that's glowing red
I perceive a planet emitting a red glow.
I see the millions burning in their beds
I witness millions of people suffering, possibly metaphorically "burning in their beds."

I observe the potential beauty that could have existed.
Torn from the future by hungry men
This beauty is taken away from the future by greedy individuals.

I only know that I believe what I see

And you, do you see what I see

Yeah you, do you see what I see

This isn't quite the way I thought it would be

It seems they want to make a symbol of me

I have the power that can keep us alive

It's a sugar coated pill and it's bitter inside
