Tears (feat. Ellie Holcomb)

I see your tears
From a mile away
Your tired of the pain
that drowns you day
And i know that your fed up
With the world around ya
But i'll dry your tears
And i'll bear your pain

I said a prayer for Orlando
Thinking about Sandy Hook
I woke up, hit my knees
Open the good book
Send some prayers up
God give us peace on earth
Send your spirit, Lord
We need a comforter
Lord, comfort her
She lost her only son
Because some Maniac
Shot him with a gun
You want to run away
but theres no where to run
These days are dark
Please send the sun
We try to learn your days
Study the truth
But while in bible study
In walks Dylann Roof
God is Good
God is Great
But your creation, Lord
We so full of hate
The straights versus the gays
The Muslims versus the Jews
I turn the TV on; i'm starting to hate the news
Wish i could pack my bags and run away but theres nowhere to move

Isee your tears
From a mile away
Your tired of the pain
That drowns your pain
And i know your fed up
With the world around ya
But i'll dry your tears
And i'll bear your pain
They Makin' profits off prisons
While school are not preforming
We laying around sleeping like we been poppin' dormant
The government treat it like this is not enormous
Eight hundred homicides a city's in mourning
The crime rate is sky high
But its cool 'cause it don't affect the skyline
Meanwhile, mama can't control her eyes
The world see a thug, but to her, her baby boy done died
Folk hate the people
The people hate the folk
But the plan is to keep our people poor and broke
Locked up
Behind the gate
With an L on your number
Slave to the state
God's good
God's great
But, God, why your children, we so full of hate
I turn on the TV; i'm starting to hate the news
Wish i could pack my bags and run aways but there's nowhere to move

I see your tears
From a mile away
Your so tired of the pain
That drowns your day
And i know that your fed up
With the world around ya
But i'll dry your tears
And i'll bear your pain
