can you feel these tears
that flow from mine eyes
can you feel the heartache
within me deep inside??

where's my faith you ask??
I believe I chased it out the door
when i said I can not take no more

everything that was about
the hard life I lived
everything I worked for
with pride and dignity

everything I fought to help us live day by day
all is lost
I think I'm through
no one could help
cause i didn't know how to ask

I know there could have been just one person
whom I could of bowed my head down to
a failure you see
is what is in me

my weakness I try to hide
but it was my strength that kept itself well hid

only thing that I own and can never be taken away
unless I'm willing to spend then recklesssly

are these tears
that have my name and cleanse my soul
for now I look away
cause I lost it all recklessly
man was not able to help..
I failed to see that God was the only one
but it was too late
because by then I already lost my faith
and any other loss
would of not made a difference in my life
because God was the main source
to tap into my joyfullness..
for the life i so wanted to live
i was too much a sinner to live Gods a good life..

so i bow my head
and give away some more of my tears
for the wasted years
of days now gone by
