“When Tears Fall”

“When Tears Fall”

I’ve cried through movement… longing for touch

Desperately seeking the love I’ve wanted so much

My emotions won’t be revealed through teardrops in my eyes

Because I thought the teardrops blocked the beauty of the skies

At times the beauty of the skies… has brought sight of reality

As I am taken away from the illusions that torture me

Illusions built on lies… sometimes come from dark of night

As a spirit of fear… tries to take me from the fight

Then the clouds rush in… I loose to illusions… covering the sky

I know I need a friend much stronger than me, to take them from my eyes

As I face the clouds I know… I don’t have to be afraid

Of all the fear and darkness… the shadows have made

With courage from God I cry… let go of desperation

Let tears fall from my eyes… realize the victory cannot stay up in the skies

With this… The strength is here… through God’s sacrifice… made for us all

And with acceptance of the sacrifice… illusions mean nothing at all
