Tears. Oh, Beautiful Tears

They cry in pain.
They cry in happiness.
They cry in despair.
They cry in desperation.
They cry in loss.
They cry in hunger.
They cry....

Tears. Oh, beautiful tears.
How many wounds ye hath healed.
How many hearts ye hath joined.
How many starving stomachs ye hath filled.
How many hopes ye hath killed.
How many dreams ye hath broken.
How many faiths ye hath shaken.
How many minds ye hath rattled.
Tears. Oh, beautiful tears.

They cry for no reason.
Damn these eyes.
I wish I didn't have 'em.
Tears. Oh, beautiful tears.
I wish I hadn't shed 'em.
