|
When it's up to you |
|
To figure what's right and wrong |
|
It's someone else's parade |
|
And yours is an unhappy song |
|
When it hurts so bad |
|
And you feel you can't go on |
|
Each day goes by too fast |
|
And the nights are so very long |
|
You'll find out true |
|
What mother said to you |
|
The tears of God will show you the way |
|
The way to turn |
|
When your only escape |
|
Is a cheap nickel wine |
|
And the peace you need in your heart |
|
Is so very hard to find |
|
It's a stubborn life we lead |
|
And there's never no rest |
|
Trouble's out there looking for you |
|
Even when you try your best |
|
You'll find out true |
|
What mother said to you |
|
The tears of God will show you the way |
|
The way to turn |
|
Hide not your head |
|
The way to turn |
|
Hear what He once said |
|
He'll show you the way |
|
For there is a world for you and me |
|
Where the blind, too, can see |
|
Through the tears of God |
|
The Son of the Maker said |
|
"This is my cross to bear" |
|
Taking off of our shoulders |
|
Something we should have shared |
|
You'll find out true |
|
What mother said to you |
|
That tears of God will show you the way |
|
The way to turn |
