DIFFERENT TEARS

If you think I am unhappy...you don't know me

You'll have to ask someone who has for years

I've never tried to hide my emotions

And there are so many different tears

So you saw me crying in the garden

You didn't ask, so you wouldn't know

I was overwhelmed by the beauty

And I was born a reverent soul

If you want to call me crazy...think about it

Before you slander me before our peers

I could turn around and call you callous

But I'll just explain the different tears

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I laughed so hard

I laughed so hard I cried

I'm hit with pain

Sob when a Loved one dies

I was touched

That you would think me Dear

I can't express

The awe I'm feeling here

I am amazed

Sweet music that I hear

So I shed them

I shed these different tears

~~*~~

Maybe you are not sympathetic

Some harden their hearts to stave the pain

I'm not the kind to wallow in my misery

I cry it out... embracing life again

So you don't appreciate a visual treasure

Or admire the pure miracle of birth

Well I'd rather be a weeping Lover

Than a hater wandering this earth

If you have no honest sense of pleasure

What will motivate you through the years

How can you truly wonder why I'm crying

When pity is just different tears

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I laughed so hard

I laughed so hard I cried

I'm hit with pain

Sob when a Loved one dies

I was touched

That you would think me Dear

I can't express

The awe I'm feeling here

I am amazed

Sweet music that I hear

So I shed them

I shed these different tears

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

How can you wonder why I am crying

When Pity is just different tears

~~*~~
