TEARS OF THE EARTH


In a car with family under the rain
But in truth their warm embrace fails to cover the pain
The tears of this world reflect my inner being
Of heartache and sorrow that reigns supreme
 
Why, 理由を, Pourquoi, Porque are the questions that saturate my mind
        
The words of my emotions eager to break free from their incarceration
Bringing to surface all that was locked up beneath this false self-illustration
Of all the heartbreaks, disappointments and betrayals so common in this human race
 
Sitting in this car waiting…
For someone or something to free me from this prison
Out of the blue the words of the Bishop echoed through my soul
A distinctive sensation gripped hold
Questioning the very existence of which I had yet to behold

What is this feeling?
Erupting through this skeleton interior of mine
  As though new life has been breathed into my lungs
Is this what they call a Revelation?
The feeling of spiritual rebirth and God’s presence flowing throughout my entire anatomy
The Lord has granted freedom to this caged body
Releasing me from this self-imprisonment of my doubts, disbelief and fears
His grace has put me through a form of metamorphism
Now the tears of the earth don’t reflect my pain
But instead are the everlasting blessings of the Lord in the form of rain
