Tears Are a Language

Every teardrop tells a story As its running down our cheek The sound it makes cannot be heard For its voice is much too weak Listen to a teardrop fall But listen with your soul The silent screams of broken hearts Is a sound you can't console Teardrops are a language That's spoken from the heart An endless stream of liquid pain That hurts right from the start Tears are often misunderstood As a cleansing of the soul But they leave scars that go unseen When the pain begins to flow Tears are filled with part of us A part we try to hide They can come from many places To show what's hidden inside Every teardrop tells a story That most will never hear For they don't understand the language That's spoken by a tear
