Love and Tears

There's a tremor on this highway
Like a tower that can only fall
'Cause when you build it on the blood of another nation
It's a true indictment of us all

Let the singer be born
From the fabric of our greater need
And let the the words and you carry each other
And build, oh brother, I will

This debt, how could you think that I'd forget
I'm thanking love and tears, love and tears
Let's stay here 'til this darkness disappears

Once I met a wicked man
He smiled shyly as he offered me some sweet bread
And I never knew he was my grandpa
'Til I found my mother crying by the bed

Let the strong wind blow through me reason
Let the stars renew my weary eyes
You're my friend, I'll say it again and
By then I think you won't be so surprised

This said, gonna make me jump right out of bed
For sake of love and tears, love and tears
We'll stay here 'til this darkness disappears

This debt, I know John Lennon won't forget
I'm talking love and tears, love and tears
We'll stay here 'til this darkness disappears
