Tears
A tear for now, a tear for later,
A tear from days gone by
Why hang your head down, why wear your frown
Why oh why do you cry?
Why give the devil a foot hold
Why let him see your fears
While you are down, he’s laughing now
Because he has brought you to tears.
Don’t hang your head down, look up and smile
Make him wander what you’re up to.
Through the ages, your storm still rages
It makes him scared of what you might do.
When you’re smiling and looking up
His party’s turned upside down
He gets a joy out of seeing you sad
Now turn his smile into a frown
Give a smile for now, and a smile for later
And a smile from days gone by
Put your chin up, you are the winner
In the end, then satan will cry!
