tear of mine
I lie on my back, looking down to the ground
And see tons of people skittering around
All of them going from point A to point B
None of them are seeing the ones in need
I see a young girl with no one close by
I look at her closer; she’s beginning to cry
She looks like she hasn’t eaten in awhile
And has been walking for miles on miles
I see an old man sitting on a sidewalk
He’s wearing old clothes and only one sock
He’s hungry and lonely with no one around
He’s getting up, but someone pushes him down
As I lay on my back, looking down on the world
I can’t see cause’ my vision’s all swirled
How can this world live with such pain
How can they live with that on their brain?
I wipe my eyes and blow my nose
Then I stand up on my tiptoes
I look at the world above the clouds
And see all the happy crowds
I see a young lady wearing a gown
Laughing and singing, never wearing a frown
I see an old man smiling so brightly
Hugging a woman ever-so tightly
I lay back, I start to tear
they fall on the ones who live in fear
Before it hits, this tear of mine
I see something that is quite fine
An old woman grabbed that small child’s hand
Took her home and together they planned
Gave her a bath and gave her some food
Helped her out and was not rude
A young lady bent and helped that old man
She gave him a ticket and a piece of ham
She said, “I’ll help you out of this mess”
He said, “You know? Thank-you Miss”
That got me thinking, and thinking a lot
That this kindness may happen more often than not
those people, they’re kind and full of love
That tear of mine, turned into a dove
