Tear

A teardrop was resting deep down in his eyes Asleep in the dark, unaware of the rise It lived in the abyss of an ocean so blue Just waiting in silence, not knowing what to do Then out of the blue came an awkward display A storm of emotions that washed it away The sky turned to black as the feelings broke through A sudden eruption, a violent debut A flick of the lashes, his hand starts to shake The tear finally falls, the foundation will break The tear is rolling down, falling fast down the cheek A river of feelings, making the hardened look weak They say that us men have no feelings at all Until the dark weight of our guilt makes us fall It rolled down so quiet, almost out of sight Men's tears are a secret, hidden from the light The price of this drop is concealed by the hand An iron-clad grip on a fate hard to stand He built up a family, far away from his blood Spent years in the grind, dragging his name through the mud Became one of the strangers, adapting to survive Just trying to keep the broken pieces alive He hadn't seen loved ones, fate scattered them wide The threads are all severed, with nowhere to hide The ties are all broken, almost for good Lost in the distance where he always stood The tear is rolling down, falling fast down the cheek A river of feelings, making the hardened look weak They say that us men have no feelings at all Until the dark weight of our guilt makes us fall Suddenly the tears, falling one after one Merging to a river, blocking out the sun My family is crying, begging to forgive Let's forget the bitterness, let the love revive Let's hold each other close, wipe away the pain And here comes another tear... falling like the rain ROLLING DOWN FROM HAPPINESS FROM THE EYES OF THE BOY From the eyes... of the boy
