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.
