Tears of joy and tears of grief Tears of sadness and relief Tears for every high and low Tears that let our feelings show Private tears and tears we share Tears that let us know we care Tears shed with friends in sympathy The tears we shed in symphony Tears at weddings births and wakes Whatever kind of tears it takes Happy tears and tears of pain And sometimes tears we can't explain To ease our hearts God gave us tears To ease our minds to ease our fears Tears of loss and tears of hope God gave us tears to help us cope Beware the man who will not cry For he his feelings would deny The tears we cry show our devotion So cry your tears to fill an ocean.
