Those Tears Must be Shed

When sorrow and grief pull you in,
Those tears must be shed;
When memories flood and storms threaten,
Tears must be shed;
When loss fills your heart with pain,
Those tears must be shed;
Loved ones you’ll never see again,
Those tears must be shed;
When the sky turns dark and clouds loom,
Those tears must be shed;
Thunderheads break open, spelling doom,
Those tears must be shed;
When the hole in your heart is larger than ever,
Those tears must be shed;
Seems you’ll miss them forever,
Those tears must be shed;
Your mind says if only and fills with regret,
Those tears must be shed;
You feel its as bad as it can get,
Those tears must be shed;
Dry those tears now and feel the relief
Of those tears you have shed;
You’ve expressed the sorrow and the grief
By those tears you have shed;
Embrace the joy of life;
Those tears you have shed;
Enough now of sadness and strife,
Those tears you have shed;
Enjoy life just in this minute,
Those tears you have shed;
Tomorrow may bring sadness in it,
Those tears you have shed
Are dry for now but will be back;
Those tears you have shed;
Be comforted by them, not be their lack;
Those tears you will shed
Will become a healing balm,
Those tears you will shed;
Bringing your soul peace and calm,
Those tears you will shed.
