Come to me and show me eyes, full of grief and pain,
I see the hunger in those eyes, for justice and for gain,
I see you longing for the past, the need of what's not here,
I see you lamenting what has left, your eyes they show it clear.

Come to me and show me ears, that have heard your heaving sob,
I hear the torment of those ears, a laughing moment they wish to rob,
I hear the lonely restless eves, you spend moaning for the lost,
I hear the goalless wandering days, you spend counting the cost.

Come to me and show me hands, tired from removing thorns,
I feel how you've just had enough, how you perpetually mourn,
I feel the sickness of your soul, the anguish which you show,
I feel the worry on your mind, away from you love you throw.

You've shown me your hands, your eyes, your ears,
I'll dim your screams, I'll dry your tears,
But now I plead, show me your heart,
Then from a new beginning, together, we'll start.
