Tears

[Hook: Ellie Holcomb]
I see your tears
From a mile away
You're tired of the pain
That drowns your day
And I know that you're fed up
With the world around ya
But I'll dry your tears
And I'll bear your pain

[Verse 1: Thi'sl]
I said a prayer for Orlando
Thinking about Sandy Hook
I woke up, hit my knees
Open the Good Book
Send some prayers up
God give us peace on earth
Send Your spirit, Lord
We need the Comforter
Lord, comfort her
She lost her only son
Because some maniac
Shot him with a gun
You want to run away
But there's nowhere to run
The days are dark
Please send the Son
We try to learn Your ways
Study Your truth
But while in Bible study
In walks the Dylann Roof
God is good
God is great
But Your creation, Lord
We so full of hate
The straights versus the gays
The Muslims versus the Jews
We all hate each other
And that's not from You
I turn the TV on; I'm starting to hate the news
Wish I could pack my bags and run away but there's nowhere to move

[Hook: Ellie Holcomb]
I see your tears
From a mile away
You're tired of the pain
That drowns your day
And I know that you're fed up
With the world around ya
But I'll dry your tears
And I'll bear your pain

[Verse 2: Thi'sl]
They makin' profit off prisons
While schools are not performing
We laying around sleeping like we been poppin' dormant
The government treat it like this is not enormous
Eight hundred homicides a city's in mourning
The crime rate is sky high
But it's cool 'cause it don't affect the skyline
Meanwhile, mama can't control her eyes
The world see a thug, but to her, her baby boy done died
Folk hate the people
The people hate the folk
But the plan is to keep our people poor and broke
Locked up
Behind the gate
With an L on your number
Slave to the state
God's good
God's great
But, God, why your children, we so full of hate
I turn the TV on; I'm starting to hate the news
Wish I could pack my bags and run away but there's nowhere to move

[Hook: Ellie Holcomb]
I see your tears
From a mile away
You're tired of the pain
That drowns your day
And I know that you're fed up
With the world around ya
But I'll dry your tears
And I'll bear your pain
