Wipe My Tears Away
Will someone come and wipe the tears from my eyes,
Sing to me a lullaby.
A soft and sweet note too ease and comfort what’s hurting inside
Quiet it peacefully, with vocals, hummed gently from someone’s throat.
Promise me that tomorrow will not be like today or yesterday,
That if I continue to pray, that the pain in it, will all simply just go away.
Maybe, I can just go away,
Away to somewhere they know, not my name
But to new places, upon new faces, where I can find love just the same.
Will someone come and wipe away my tears,
These same tears that have fallen for so many years, so unrealistically real
And the hand I was dealt was the real deal, “Holyfield”.
Can anyone out there hear or help me,
I’m crying out from within, acknowledge my plea.
I call on his grace, only seeking those in the image of his face,
God’s face, only one who can erase this pain shut up inside
Will you come to wipe the tears from my eyes?
