On that bridge I look an' see
The symbol of your justice and equality
Standin tall with her torch of flames
Now I ask wat is your aims
Yuh invade Grenada
You invade Nicaragua
You bomb Hirashima
You bomb Philidelphia
But the eyes of liberty is watchin' you
To see wat nex' you will do
De eyes of liberty is watchin' you
Your liberty and justice is only for a few
De true owners of your nation
Is forced to live on a reservation
Now I see you in my land
Makin' all kinds of plan
Spendin' billions of dollars every year
To keep us all livin' in fear
Economical pressure is your game
Liberty reachin' with her torch of flames
Yes de eyes of liberty is watchin' you
To yourself you must be true
De eyes of justice is cryin' out
Wat is your democracy all about
Talk of invadin' Libya
No talk of invadin' South Afrika
But yuh invade de Sandinista government
Usin' Jamaica as your Caribbean investment
And de Palistenians are your biggest resentment
Terrorism is de order of de day
Where will de children play?
Yuh invade Grenada
You invade Nicaragua
You bomb Hirashima
You bomb Philidelphia
De symbol of true justice and equality
Stand erect for all to see
Makin' plans for de Haitians
Helpin' to keep down de black Amerikans
But de eyes of liberty is watchin' you
Watchin' all de tings you do
De eyes of liberty is watchin' you
To yourself you must be true
