For Every Tear You Cry

For every tear you cry
A baby smiles for the first time
Someone in this world dies
Someone tells a lie
Dreams are frozen in time
Someone confesses to a crime

For every tear you cry
Someone learns how to fly
Another one falls from the sky
Innocence is killed by Pride
Someone loses his rights
A clock begins to chime

For every tear you cry
A star glows more bright
While another one loses its light
Two break out into a fight
A scream is heard in the night
Someone finds their might

For every tear you cry
Someone brings back a life
Someone is filled with fright
A fool is tricked by Sly
Someone tries to hide
Someone wins a prize

For every tear you cry
Someone commits suicide
A blind man gains back his sight
Someone’s drugged up high
Someone determined continues to try
Two cars collide
