Analysis of "Why we weap"
Wendy Mitchell 1981 (West Liberty)
Why we cry
We cry because of joy laughter and pain
Why we cry
We cry because our loved ones passed us by without saying good bye
We walk alone the dusty wet roads of tears falling into the black whole of pain in our hearts
We cry Because we feel others pain in our hearts
The angles above the heavens sky sing for us as we cry into the night waves crashing into the sea of tears
The moon cry's for love that shines every night for us to see oh how lonley is the moon that shines at night moon light stars flickering in the night clouds
The love of jesus shine's in the heavens sky as jesus crys for the whole world to get better with the sickness please love jesus again so the mother earth can heal of her broken heart she feels in her soul
The wind blows as the sky falls into tears once more please don't let the darkness swollow you up
As we cry
