Tears, dripping, watering away
Having looked up, down has got me today
They say your eyes are the mirrors of your soul
Many pieces, broken and whole
I am clear, I am fuddled; I am dreary, I am droll
I am everything I don't know
Dripping, watering away
Like a drop in the well water...
Life ripples around me today
And I quiet my mind...
If only for a moment, if only for a while
Forsaking a solitary tear for one more smile
For it has become heavy and painfully dividing
It has been warming and grimly abiding
A lonely heartbeat, slowly beating in time
A tightening in my chest from a swelling vine
Dripping, watering away
Confusion dominating the day
I let you in, compassion made your home
Forgiveness let you roam
Love set you free while hate held me
And you took it... you filched it all
Soaring to new heights while I took the fall
And I forgave you... I forgave you once more...
Tears, dripping, watering away
Having looked up, down has got me today
A solitary word, a wistful prayer
A gilded pathway beyond one more layer
For I want it to end, simply come to a halt
Stop the bleeding from this frontal assault
And I shall pray...
I shall look up again and find another way
Having held the heart that is heavy today
I shall have to choose what is complex and unkind
If only for one peaceful moment...
If only for one restful mind...
And change the path that has shrouded my way
Having looked down now, free has got me today...
