A tear can have a powerful voice
Though you'll never hear it speak
It tells a story just the same
As our eyes begin to leak

A tear's been called most everything
Some even call it rain
But those who've had a broken heart
Know it as liquid pain

There's no such thing as a single tear
For soon another will follow
It always leaves you all alone
With your soul broken and hollow

Sometimes we can write with tears
For it becomes our ink
We write our pain with tears we cry
To let our heartache shrink

And though we cry for many reasons
Our tears are not in vain
It heals our souls from the inside out
Thank God for liquid pain
