Tears

A tear for now, a tear for later, A tear from days gone by Why hang your head down, why wear your frown Why oh why do you cry? Why give the devil a foot hold Why let him see your fears While you are down, he’s laughing now Because he has brought you to tears. Don’t hang your head down, look up and smile Make him wander what you’re up to. Through the ages, your storm still rages It makes him scared of what you might do. When you’re smiling and looking up His party’s turned upside down He gets a joy out of seeing you sad Now turn his smile into a frown Give a smile for now, and a smile for later And a smile from days gone by Put your chin up, you are the winner In the end, then satan will cry!
