Don'T Cry With Eyes Wide Open

We have seen the power of the oceans Don't cry with eyes wide open Our loved ones have all been stolen Don't cry with eyes wide open Tsunamis and earthquakes Buildings shake Buildings break And you forever weep with painful heartaches Asking silently 'Does the earth make mistakes? ' Misery and unspeakable floods The dead lay buried in pounds of mud And the sadness in their eyes is not odd Is this the great power of GOD? Or is life another big fraud? For those who have lost it all Don't cry with eyes wide open It takes time to recover from a great fall Don't cry with eyes wide open We have seen it all before The brutality of nature is hardcore! As the media make tragedy a newsbreak We sit globally in our comfort zones Watching the people of Japan in distress As the nuclear episode evolves into a mess My heart aches with eyes wide awake People are out there hungry with cold bones Don't cry with eyes wide open Perhaps as the earth comes to its senses We can wrap our tragedies in past tenses Don't cry with eyes wide open For there is always hope Swimming around with waves of positive motions Copyright 2011 - Sylvia Chidi
