Marilyn Oakley - Hear My Tears

He drinks and then he goes home
To his children whose souls cry alone
He hits their mom, then looks at them
They cry out no, try to flee, again

The voice that says, don't you say a word
No one will listen, you won't be heard
All children do is tell stories and lies
Just hush, you can run, but you can't hide

The lonely ones in their room, shaking in their bed
Wrapped in a dark world, with these thoughts in their heads

Please God, can't you hear my tears
Please God won't you listen to my heart
I cry in silence, please answer my prayer
Please shelter me while I lie here in the dark
Take away the things that scare me out there
I don't want to live forever in fear
Please God, hear my tears

The voice asks, why were you ever born... says
You're not a rose, you're nothing but thorns
Don't bother me, I'm busy, can't you see?
If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave

The lonely ones in their room, shaking in their bed
Wrapped in a dark world, with these thoughts in their heads

Please God, can't you hear my tears
Please God won't you listen to my heart
I cry in silence, please answer my prayer
Please shelter me while I lie here in the dark
Take away the things that scare me out there
I don't want to live forever in fear
Please God, hear my tears
