Don't waste your tears on thee
save it for the ones in uniform
those who fight for you and me
those who were taken far away from home

Don't waste your tears on thee
save them for the unfortunate ones
shed a tear for daughters and sons
Those who lost their voice to speak
those whose presence is too weak

Don't waste your tears on thee
save it for the bruised that won't let you see
save it for children that lost their way again
and no one to guide them home
save them for those who escort their friends
New homes underneath the tumbstones

Tears turn into blood
then we shall get a message from god
"What have you done with the world that I built
I think even my powers can never heal"
