If my tears could heal you
You’d be right as rain.
The struggles would be over
No more trials, no more pain.
I’d wash away your troubles
Turn all your wrongs to right.
Smile love on you through daytime
And tranquility throughout night.
If my tears could heal you
Your hardships would be gone
I’d cry a bright new future
To rise anew at dawn.
Child so small and precious
Seems so much life to live
We hold on tight, we fight the fight
You have so much to give.
If my tears could heal you
Then God would grant my plea
But sometimes child we can’t see all
Or how things are to be.
I love you child, my mild son
So much I’ve learned from you
I pray for your peace if tears can’t heal
This much at least you’re due.
If my tears could heal you
I’d cry no more, you’d see
I’d hold you close forevermore
Alas, that’s not to be.
