Tell Me
Tell Me
I ask you Mom to tell me true
Tell me just what I should do
To make this pain just go away
To make it go to some other place
I know I cannot bear it alone
And since He has seen fit to take you home
That you could see a way to try
To tell my Heart not to cry
I ask you Dad to tell me how
How and what to do right now
I know that I should face this pain
Though I feel my heart is slain
Like the man you taught me to be
Without passion is the key
To facing pain is what you’d say
If you were here with me today
Use the strength you have inside
To tell your Heart not to cry.
I ask you friend to tell to me
What path I should choose to see
The path of my own sorrow deep
Or for her happiness to keep
That it be enough that she be blessed
With the finding of a love to end her quest
My own tears to put aside
And tell my Heart it need not cry.
Now my God I pray unto you
For the righteous thing to do
I know it’s a far better thing.
To be concerned with not my pain
But to take another’s pain away
And so into my memories she slips
With lump in throat, my heartbeat skipped
I say to her a fond goodbye
He has made my heart cease to cry.
