Looking at the world outside
Sometimes I'm lost for words
It's enough to make you cry
When will we ever learn ?
People turn away
When someone's in pain
How can we dare
To pretend we care
A river of tears
No one sees or hears
Silently winding on and on
Too wide for us to cross
A river of tears
No one sees or hears
Maybe it's deeper than we know
We can try to stop the flow ?
For each other
We could build a bridge with love
And reach the other side
Only if we're strong enough
To swallow all our pride
Being so insensitive
No way to live
It's time to start
Mending broken hearts ?
A river of tears
No one sees or hears
Silently winding on and on
Too wide for us to cross
A river of tears
No one sees or hears
Maybe it's deeper than we know
We can try to stop the flow ?
For each other
