RIVER OF TEARS...

I'M DROWING IN A RIVER OF TEARS.

ONE THAT HAS BEEN BUILT ,

THREW OUT THESE MANY YEARS.

THE TEARS WERE FOR

THE JOY YOU FIRST,

BROUGHT INTO MY LIFE.

THEN LATER ON, FOR ALL THE STRIFE.

THEY WERE SHED AS WE,

BROUGHT NEW LIFE,

INTO THIS WORLD.

 YOU WERE THERE.

WITH EVERY TEAR I CRIED IN PAIN,

YOU STOOD BY ME & TOLD ME ,

WHAT WE WERE TO GAIN.

THREE BEAUTYFULL CHILDREN.

AND WITH THEM CAME ,

TEARS OF JOY, AND TEARS OF PAIN.

YOU STOOD BY ME THREW IT ALL.

UNTIL YEARS LATER,

WHEN YOU MADE THE WRONG CALL.

YOU LET A WOMAN

COME IN BETWEEN US.

AND DOWNWARD OUR RELATIONSHIP DID FALL.

ALONG WITH TOO MANY TEARS TO COUNT.

EVEN THOUGH I FORGAVE YOU,

THE TEARS STILL FALL

FORM TIME TO TIME.

CAUSE I KNOW THINGS CAN TURN ON A DIME.

WE HAVE MOVED ON WITH OUR LIVES,

WITHOUT THE WHORE,

AND ALL HER LIES.

SO AS I STAND HERE TODAY.

I STAND WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH.

BECAUSE I KNOW,

I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED.

AND EVEN THOUGH,

THE TEARS WILL ALWAYS FALL.

I WILL NOT BE DROWNED.

BECAUSE FINALLY,

THE RIVER IS DOWN....
