Young boy ran barefoot,
Unfamiliar pain
 As he skinned his toe
Falls in to his mother’s arms
 Let’s his tears now flow

Not picked for the team,
Weakness can’t show
Left out on the side
Turns his head down to his arm
To hide his
Watery eyes

Gather strength
Learn fast young man
How to protect your pride
No time for weakness in this world
Your tears now you must hide

But God gave a gift
When life gets hard
When times no longer sweet,
He gave for that his gift of tears
For our eyes to greet

When bitter of pain
Cripples your way
Eats away your core,
Call power of tears
To flush it out
Help your mind restore

Like happiness ignites
A rejoice full glee
That follows with a smile,
Know that God has given tears
To stop the pain a while

They mend the heart
Restore the faith
Remind us it’s all right,
To be how He’s created us
With tears in our Gods sight
