The Tears Upon Your Face

The tears upon your face
Pour down winding roads like tracks in the snow
And the fire in your eyes
Burns like eternity was pent up inside

You need to say
The words that are in your face
You need to say
Whatever it is you came to say

The song that fills your lungs
Breaths life into the carcass of you
And the ground under your feet
Feels firm as you run, firm cuz your free

You need to say
The words that you came to say
You need to break
Your bars of fear and your bars of pain

The curtain falls on all you know
The curtain falls on all you love
The curtain falls on all your strength
Don’t let the curtain fall for the rest of your days

The tears upon your face
Leave tracks of love and tracks of faith
And the fire in your eyes
Burns brighter than the stars in the sky

With tears, you pray
For God to give you strength
With tears, you pray
For God to give you faith

The silence in your eyes
Remembers a time when your face used to shine
And the hope that’s on your tongue
Fights for the love of God, let the battle be won

With tears, you pray
For God to give you strength
With tears, you pray
For God to give you faith
