At the end of the day

Before I go to sleep at night

Right after I shut off the light

I will cry a tear

For the boy or girl who is made fun of everyday

They are lost yet nobody will help them find their way

I will cry a tear

For the homeless people who have no where to sleep besides a bench

I will cry a tear for the elderly people who have know one to tell them that they love them

A broken seem or torn hem.

I will cry a tear for the children that don’t have a dad or mom

Filled with pain and anger an inactivated bomb

I will cry a tear for the single mother who has no help

No body could understand the hurt she’s felt

I will cry a tear

For the lonely people in this world

I will cry a tear for the people who are shallow

Because their hearts are hollow

I will cry a tear for the person who has not one true friend

Sinking in water because it seems that the ocean doesn’t end

I will cry a tear for the person in love but the other doesn’t love them back

You’re being thrown aside so your one-track mind only sees the color black

I will cry a tear for the soldiers away from their loved ones

Your heart is weighed down by 50 million tons

I will cry a tear for the person who falls down and needs help in the street

And cry a tear for the people who wont help them back on their feet.

I will cry a tear for all of the pain in this world

And cry because there’s not much I can do

But if you’re in pain I will cry a tear for you.
