Tears

My heart goes out
To the lost and the broken
Oh will someone just
Hear what I've spoken?

Please will anyone
Heed what I say
We need to end the suffering
And we need to start today

Take a look at your life
And thank God for its ups and downs
Don't even think for just one second
That he neglects a single frown

You are no less than a miracle
In the eyes of all who see you
We all hurt and we all yearn
For someone to tell our tears to

There's the girl without a family
And the boy who sadly can see
All the pain on people' hearts,
Who are stuck in a world
Where hate is unfurled
And feels like a thousand darts

There sits that boy who thinks of her who is not his
And wishes one day she will know
Just how beautiful she is

Then there's the man without a home
And the kid who' on his own
Cause he lacks friends and a purpose

There's the soldier and his wife
There's the dad who lost his life
Without money he felt worthless

There's the bully at school
Who just wanted to be cool
But couldn't because of his weight

Why now do we not accept those
And simply just reject those
Who breach age 68?

But most of all
There's the son who took the fall
Off the bridge
To end the strife

He did his best
But couldn't contest
To his father
So he took his own life

The pain was unbearable
The cussing never ceased
A couple beers is all it takes
To unleash the untamed beast

The verbal abuse thrashed about nevertheless.
Without a doubt
When you're drunk you're mindless

I say listen closely
My message is loud and clear
Love all great and small
Then no longer shall you fear

It'll just take time
To begin the climb
So rest and keep your faith

Not to worry
There's no need to hurry
And no such thing as fate,
God's love will be revealed
And old wounds will soon be healed
If we just take the time to wait
