Eyes Never Dry

Her eyes were never dry Since she was born she would always cry No matter what kind of lie I would tell She would see right through me, a smile she didn't sell I don’t blame her for when her lips fell She knew the world was aware of our pain She knew nobody cared about evils reign She knew nobody cared about every body that laid lifeless on the streets She knew… So I understand In her precious young heart Knowledge of the world there was that few men had Even though she knew it could get her killed she just couldn't stand When justice wasn't served When her mothers killers were free And we get something no human deserves I ask her please smile The pain will last just for a little while
