Lyrics
Save Your Tears
On that December eight
The day John Lennon died
Shocked people everywhere
Broke down and cried
He didn't need my tears
Or my short silent prayer
A man like that
Had enough who cared
Save your tears say a prayer for those who face
Life each day in harm's way out of grace
I still remember when
A nation said good-bye
How little John's salute
Brought tears to eyes
No one noticed I was late
For his Dad's Parade
A man like that
Had enough who prayed
Save your tears say a prayer for those who face
Life each day in harm's way out of grace
Babies born addicted
A drive by shooting victim
Homeless who don't matter
A young wife bruised and battered
The old who die alone in
A home that isn't home
They need us more
To cry and care for
Save your tears say a prayer for those who face
Life each day in harm's way out of grace
On that December eight
The day John Lennon died
Shocked people everywhere
Broke down and cried
He didn't need my tears
Or my short silent prayer
A man like that
Had enough who cared
