Private Tears

I questioned everyone and everything back then, Except you... so much that I sat in that mess, I watched those click of vipers brain washing your soul, I felt overwhelmed and outnumbered yet I still didn't let go, I wanted to shake you and wake up your heart, Even if it meant making myself look foolish, so I played the part, I made it look as if I didn't know, So you would wonder and search your own soul, I knew what I was up against, so I turned it around, So you would search yourself instead of the crowd, I knew the influence of all the voices you would hear, And I knew my voice was small and simple compared to every one there, So what looked dead to you was actually truly alive, I knew you would dig deeper because we are very much alike, I felt your words penetrate my soul, It was as if I was talking to myself when I'm all alone, It was mind-blowing to say the least, but in my heart I knew, Right where you were at, because in my heart I was you, And all of a sudden, I knew why I was there, The connections, the dreams, the heart in your stare, The pull that brought me where God wanted me to be, It was through the heartache of a dream I couldn't get past or see, He spoke to me with tears in his eyes, Yet I never knew him a day in my life, But it was his love for you that had me sit and wait, I never understood until that day, And I was not about to let the crowd see, The tears of love that he shared with me,
