Origin of Tears
Tears of a bitter past,
And a hopeless tomorrow,
All for joys that never last,
And a memory drowned by sorrow.
Tears of a forgotten son,
For the parents he's never known.
Afraid of what he hasn't done,
And of living all alone.
Tears of the mother
Who was left to die,
And the pain from another
Who never said goodbye.
Tears for a happy end,
That we all hope is there,
For a broken heart to never mend,
And the pain you cannot bare.
