Ellie Holcomb - Tears lyrics

[Hook: Ellie Holcomb] I see your tears From a mile away You're tired of the pain That drowns your day And I know that you're fed up With the world around ya But I'll dry your tears And I'll melt the pain [Verse 1: Thi'sl] I said a prayer for our land though Thinking about Sandy Hook I woke up, hit my knees Open the Good Book Send some prayers up God give us peace on earth Send Your spirit, Lord We need the Comforter Lord, comfort her She lost her only son Because some maniac Was allowed to buy a gun She want to run away But there's nowhere to run The days are dark Please send the Son We try to learn Your ways Study Your truth But while in Bible study In walks the Dylann Roof God is good God is great But Your creation, Lord We so full of hate The straights hate the gays The m**ms hate the Jews We all hate each other And that's not from You I turn the TV on and I'm starting to hate the news Wish I could pack my bags and run away but there's nowhere to move [Hook: Ellie Holcomb] I see your tears From a mile away You're tired of the pain That drowns your day And I know that you're fed up With the world around ya But I'll dry your tears And I'll melt the pain [Verse 2: Thi'sl] They makin' profit off prisons While schools are not performing We laying around sleeping like we been poppin' dormant The government treated like this is not enormous Five hundred homicides a city's in mourning The crime rate is sky high But it's cool 'cause it don't affect the skyline Meanwhile, mama can't control her eyes The world see a thug but to her her baby boy is dyin' Folk hate the people The people hate the folk But the plan is to keep our people poor and broke Locked up Behind the gate With the L on your number Slave to the state God's good God's great But, God, why your children, we so full of hate I turn the TV on and I'm starting to hate the news Wish I could pack my bags and run away but there's no where to move [Hook: Ellie Holcomb] I see your tears From a mile away You're tired of the pain That drowns your day And I know that you're fed up With the world around ya But I'll dry your tears And I'll melt the pain [Outro]
