Why Am I Crying
I cry at the pain and intolerance I see~
I cry because I Know you are me~
I cry when you mourn as I have mourned too~
I cry when I forget that I am just you~
I cry at the joyful smile of a child~
I cry at the captive released to the wild~
I cry when I can’t make it better for you~
I cry at the lies that this world has made true~
I cry at starvation and war and in pain~
I cry as I dance in the warm summer’s rain~
I cry as you hold your child so close to thee~
I cry because my child was taken from me~
I cry for your loss and your deepest fears~
I cry till I feel like I have no more tears~
I cry for your pain and for All the rest~
I cry because my life is so blessed~
