John Lee Sanders - Last Tear To Fall

Rovers search for life on Mars
Far from Stars and strife
Whitewash the scars
Play the anthem, Pay the ransom
To some Cyber ninja phantom,
Or the system trickles down to a crawl
Like a house of cards way too tall
Simpler time in my younger years
In my prime without a fear
Will we ever learn from the past at all
The world gonna turn till last tear gonna fall

Takes a village, for a world, to grow and thrive
We the privileged, the weak and the marginalized
Some would pillage, flames they would fan it
Clear the brown haze over the planet
Or wait for the savior to arrive.
Or shoot a rocket, on a joy ride
Grapes of wrath begin to ripen when
Best laid plans of mice and men
Or ride out the storm
til the last tear gonna fall.

And those who search for Justice never sleep
Never grown accustomed to the belly of the beast
When a hurricane rain crack your window pane
Lose true north on your weathervane
We throw some crumbs and a crust of bread
Body and soul must be fed
For silent tears we never shed.
Sooner or later later gonna fall

Is it our God that swings the wrecking ball?
When the façade hides the cracks deep in the wall
Some be sniffing out good trouble
With the dogs among the rubble
Search for life or sadly none at all
In that number we shall be called
And those tears of a crocodile
May hide your fears for a little while
It's a long way down for the last tear to fall
I hope a safety net's big enough to catch them ALL
Surely won't be the last tear to fall
I hope there be Tears of Joy, be the last tear to fall
