Tears of Ice

by Joe Moore   Oct 11, 2007


Morning comes again and I wake with room to cry
No one there to dry my sobbing eye or
hear my moans as to why
Kids ask if I'm o.k.
My swells tell them something wrong
But how do I tell them my tears are cause
their daddy's gone

two hearts 1 soul froze in tears of ice
you cant ear your baby's ask why daddy's not nice
you scream you fight you sling me to the floor
yet I still ache at the fate of you walking out the door

I don't know if I can make it like this father
This pain so deep it cuts hard and long
Everyday I try to fake it for the kids sake
But I don't know how to be this strong

Tensions high as Newark Power darkens my face
4 rooms and we still gather up in one place
For comfort,for some light and heat
For love understanding and a bit to eat
I ache with a pain of a thousand devastations
but you don't hear or feel one of my frustrations

Some where my pains change and wrath is the path
I get up and run the kids their bath
Just warm enough to keep them calm
But no one here to keep them from my arms

two hearts 1 soul froze in tears of ice
you cant ear your baby's ask why daddy's not nice
you scream you fight you sling me to the floor
yet I still ache at the fate of you walking out the door

I don't know if I can make it like this father
This pain so deep it has to be wrong
Everyday I try to fake it for the kids sake
But I don't know how to be this strong

Oh god where are you now what have I done
Why didn't you protect my baby's from harm
You didn't here them cry, struggle and fight
You didn't here their screams pierce the night
I'm calling their daddy now to let him know
His baby's are resting in peace
No need to worry about them anymore
And you don't have to worry about me

So I hope you can hear my plea dear lord
I never meant to hurt what is rightfully yours
I couldn't find the strength to change my course
Take care of my baby's and hold them close to your heart

two hearts 1 soul free as melted ice
Doesn't matter anymore if daddy's not nice
no more fighting, pain, or sobbing on the floor
no more horrors of you walking out the door

I couldn't make it like this father
This pain so deep i declared it to be wrong
no more faking it for the kids sake
cause I didn't know how to be this strong
