Verse 1

Tears are smoke
Rising up from the fire
Tears are blood from a wound

Verse 2

Tears are rain
Pouring out skies of sorrow
Tears have been my only food

Chorus

With creation
Groans too deep for talking
We're both waiting for relief
With creation
A shadow we can't outrun
Both impatient
To be free to be free

Verse 3

Tears are graves
Marking where something died
Tears are stars in the dark

Verse 4

Tears are stories
Connect the dots of a life
Tears are the color of my heart

Chorus

With creation
Groans too deep for talking
We're both waiting for relief
With creation
A shadow we can't outrun
Both impatient
To be free to be free to be

Verse 5

Tears are oil
Setting moments apart
Tears are a balm for the wound

Verse 6

Tears are the point
Letting all the pressure out
And not a one's forgot by You
