Tears

Tears of laughter, Tears of pain Tears of joy, Tears of shame Tears united, Tears apart Tears from heaven and from the heart. The tears we cry which cloud our eyes Are the tears we cry at sad good-byes Tears of sorrow, Tears of fear Tears for loved ones no longer here. Tears of love, Tears of pride Oceans filled with the tears we’ve cried Tears of anguish, Tears untamed No two tears are cried the same. Tears of passion and broken hearts Tears which yearn for brand new starts Tears of triumph and of defeat Tears which cry out from the streets. Tears of freedom, Tears we frame Silent tears cried in vain Tears from shadows, Tears from lies Tears at night when babies cry. These tears are honest These tears are true These tears I’ve passed from me to you. And so my love come hold me near And so my love and dry these tears.

R. Milan Gura
