Tears In My Eyes

You can bravely or cowardly Look at me, stare at me I have water in my eyes I do not need your prize I do not want it Give it to the sea Or burn it. Be true to me That's all my heart desires Laugh or cry with me And mean it Look deep to see The burning fires Which reside in me From infancy to present You wonder a lot You smoke pot And I don't Read one comment And you'll understand Why I will always stand With the disadvantaged and the poor It is a war with a front And a back You can crack Jokes all you want You can never lure Me to betray my pride Respect and honor Come under my tent So I can tell you more Even though I have water in my eyes I don't care for your money, award and prize Be true to me Laugh or cry with me And you'll understand Where I firmly stand.
