Bad things happen everyday
People steal from one another
People die with things left to do and say
Tragedy in war creates another grieving mother
But good times manage to pass us all by
Chances to make the world right slip through our fingers
All the while we cry
Tell me if that creates a taste of bile that lingers..
Because I see an end to the pain
I see an indefinite end to the anguish
But we'll never see it through our tears as they rain
Happiness isn't just a dream or a wish
We have to create it for ourselves and others
Because all the while we cry
We could be cheering on our brothers
A smile could very well prevent other who may die
Is it so hard to understand?
Lift your whole head not just your chin
And hold your lover's hand
You may just find happiness and win
But all the while we cry is wasted
Put your fist in the air and fight the pain
Give other's a chance at a smile they've never tasted
Then the sun will shine through the tears and rain..
