how many tears through the years can I cry?
how many prayers to the lord must I try?
still the pain tears at my broken heart
sometimes I feel,
I was cursed from the start.

all I could hold, all
I could see, so full of promise
each day reaching out before me
once… now there’s nothing
lost as if you never saw me.

how many tears through the years
can I cry?
how many tears until my heart runs
dry?

sometimes I wonder
if someone hears
why must I live
through so many tears?
