LOST TEARS To all the boys who never criedMy heart it weeps for youLonging for a fathers touchSlipping slowly out of view A hand it reached within my chestAnd entwined around my heartWith every beat the fingers grewUntil they covered every part And keys would fumble in the doorWhat would this dark night bringAnd in from the night the tyrant cameThe beggars received their king To bow and scrape, perhaps defuseTo laugh at every jokePerhaps the tyrant king would sleepPerhaps we would provoke With every night the fire diesEmbers of the heart recedeThe king is god, he rules supremeDon't hurt our mum the children plead And darkness overcomes the soulInto the night the children fleeAnd all around the curtains fallAnd when they fall you cannot see Who will rid us of this endless nightThe blackness and the shades of grayFor beneath the pillow held so tightIs not a place where children play Why do these tears that belong to youFall down from upon my faceFor once I dwelt in shadowlandIts now your dwelling place So if you wander in the nightA night within your heartThe true King sees behind your veilHe sees you play the part Oh wont you come on bended kneeAnd find the tears you lostThe true King longs to set you freeAnd that at any cost Don't you long to see the sunAnd feel its warm embraceA heart of flesh and not of steelAnd tears upon your face My God He is the tears you lostLiving waters from aboveHe restores the broken and the crushedWith Godly tears of love The true King wept when you could notHe wept to see His SonAnd with those tears on Calvary foughtAnd now the work is done Come out from amongst the dead He criesAnd He will deal with all your fearsFor every time you could not cryMy God He shed your tears And all these tears He's gatheredAnd they flow from Heavens throneAnd when your swept up in this tideYou'll know you were not alone
