These tears that I cry for you
they are also tears for me
for this path that you're walking tonight
I know that I may someday walk it also. 
The pain I feel is deep and real
I feel it as my own
and it scares me
It drops me to my knees
in pain 
and in prayer.
It breaks me wide open
to the spot that is the weakest
Every tear is a tear for you
a tear for me
for all of us
all of us who know.
