Song Description

Upbeat song about tears comparing rain invigorating the soil to tears invigorating our soul

Lyrics

Tears Sing a River

Parched earth, cracked and broken beneath an azure sky
Clouds grey as charcoal come drifting by
Soil softens as rain falls all around
Heaven opens and cries upon the ground
Like that earth my heart?s so dry
I need a really good cry

Tears sing a river that bathes my soul
Wash through the pain and mix it with joy
Carry me down the canyon and out to sea
Where I will be, whole again

I dance with sorrow, play a game of hide and seek
Afraid to face the pain, heck I barely take a peek
Say, ?I?m alright I just want to go home?
Find a thousand other things to do when I?m alone
Like that earth my heart?s so dry
I need a really good cry

Tears sing a river that bathes my soul
Wash through the pain and mix it with joy
Carry me down the canyon and out to sea
Where I will be, whole again

My body is aching for peace
Time to swim in the river
I want that sweet release
Tears can deliver

Tears sing a river that bathes my soul
Wash through the pain and mix it with joy
Carry me down the canyon and out to sea
Where I will be
Where I will be
Where I will be
Whole again
