The tears when a life is put out
Are the tears I see in you
The one who is afraid to die
And the one who has no choice
Oh life is full of pain and dread
And life is full of sorrow
One man has not nearly enough
While another has everything
Reincarnation seems to hold fast
In light of all the inequalities in life
Why one man suffers and another grows
And the reason people choose to survive
If staying alive is worth more than being kind
Then life is surely not worth living
The trees sing the praises of those who sacrifice
They sing with the stars in heaven
God is the tinker who designs this life
And we are living in it
He's kind and if you pray to him
Much magic will come your way
Think, Hallelujah, when he sends you gifts
And try to be grateful
He is just hidden under the surface of the details
Just pray to come closer to him
The songs we sing are rising in the night
Like heat evaporating upwards
I turn and smile back at you
Because together we have moved mountains
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
