TEARS OF ANGER

A little boy..

Beat for smashing windows

Just to hear the sound of breaking glass

A little girl...

Slapped for trying to whistle

Mama screams don't bother us like that

A teen-aged boy...

Crawling to his bedroom

To get away when Daddy's fists were done

A teen-aged girl...

Doesn't want a boyfriend

She'll fight to not be touched by anyone

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Tears of anger Tears of pain

Vows to never love again

Pillows wet from crying out to God

Where were you as I begged

Did you even heed my prayers

Don't you care...

God don't you care

~~*~~

A bright young man...

Creates stained glass windows

Mentors the troubled youth, to learn his trade

A young lady...

Mastered the piano

Free lessons to a different child each day

A true Father...

Takes his son, and his friends

Pays for their training class in self defense

A strong woman's...

A doctor and a guide

Counsels her patients on to live a life

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

There was torture, there was shame

Private hell they overcame

Turned around and blessed us all

They reach out until they find

Sick of body, sick of mind

Tell you that it is God's call

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Tears of anger Tears of pain

Vows to never love again

Pillows wet from crying out to God

Where were you as I begged

Did you even heed my prayers

Don't you care...

God don't you care

~~*~~

~~*Finale*~~

We were given our free will

But the Lord, He loves us still

Darkness finds us, hurts us bad...

And He tries to hold us close

When we're suffering the most

Let Him in to free the dam...

&

Wipe the tears of anger...
