Tears Have Been My Companions

Tears Have Been My Companions 

Lost years had shadowed me so long

I couldn't see the sun

I couldn't find the strength to crawl

Never mind to run.......

I looked in the mirror and every day

A stranger looked back there at me

She covered my eyes and filled me with lies

And pure darkness was all I could see........

What hope that I found was found in the sound

Of the music that played in the world

And when it died, I died inside

A lost and lonely girl..........

I didn't know just who I was

I didn't know my name

The more I changed and tried to fit

The more things stayed the same.........

Putting on the costumes

They gave me for the parts

I read my lines and took my bows

With the other broken hearts.........

Crying in the mid of night

My pillow stained and torn

From screaming questions out of fright

And torment hard to be borne..........

I lived in fear. I lived with tears

My life was filled with grief

I laughed and played my parts so well

But tears were my relief........

And now, but now, I've found myself

The true me, after all

The building that I thought I was

I watched it burn and fall...........

And tears are still my companions

Though not instruments for fear to employ

To my great surprise, when Love touched my eyes

Those same tears filled my eyes with joy.
