These Words
A girl
A boy
A mother
And father
Share their pain
In a way
That we don’t understand
In a way that seems absurd
The girl sheds a tear on a lost soul
The boy carves a spear in buries it in a hole
The mother burns her clothes in a matter of despair
And the father hides himself in the dark lair
We don’t know why they do these things
Why they endure so much misery
We don’t want to even look on the choices
For so much pain should not be made
We all are the mother and the father
The girl and boy
We all have our pain
We endure the same misery
But listen close and hear my words
There is a savior who takes your tears
And washes your face in the river of yesteryear
Give him your problems make it better
This I tell you
And this you should do
