If
the tears I've shed
for the children of Syria
had been kept
by now they would
have drowned
me
If
the tears I've shed
for the children of Iraq
had been left to flow
by now they would
have soaked
the earth
If
the tears I've shed
for the children of Africa
had been rivers of gold
by now all children
need not suffer
poverty
If
the tears I've shed
for the children of the world
had been able to heal
by now all children
of the world
are well
But
My tears are just tears
shed out of empathy and sympathy
shed out of frustration and pain
shed out of love and care
for the world and
for humanity
Alas!
I hope my tears are not in vain
I hope that God in heaven feels my pain
I hope that He hears my plea
I hope that He cares to answer me
I hope that He will soon end
the pain of this world and of the children
