Tears
I cry for all of those who died
Not for the colour of their skin
Not for perception of their sin
Not for a war they're fighting in
Just for the place where they had been
I cry, because no one tells me why
Cry for the fanning of the flames
Cry for the passing of the blame
Cry for the policies of shame
For circumstances unexplained
Ask why, ask why so many people lie
Why they distort what's happening
Why they must cover up the scene
And hide the truth of what has been
When what was real is just obscene
I cry, because I know eye for an eye
Will make it worse, exacerbate
Mistrust, suspicion and more hate
I have to watch it escalate
Into a cataclysmic state
I cry, I cry for those who've yet to die
I cry because it's not the end
Some wounds may never get to mend
As no-one knows how to defend
Against imaginary friends
Not for the colour of their skin
Not for perception of their sin
Not for a war they're fighting in
Just for the place where they had been
I cry, because no one tells me why
Cry for the fanning of the flames
Cry for the passing of the blame
Cry for the policies of shame
For circumstances unexplained
Ask why, ask why so many people lie
Why they distort what's happening
Why they must cover up the scene
And hide the truth of what has been
When what was real is just obscene
I cry, because I know eye for an eye
Will make it worse, exacerbate
Mistrust, suspicion and more hate
I have to watch it escalate
Into a cataclysmic state
I cry, I cry for those who've yet to die
I cry because it's not the end
Some wounds may never get to mend
As no-one knows how to defend
Against imaginary friends
