Tears that flow like river,
Tears filled with pain,
Tears that attracts the stars at night,
Tears that brings the moonlight alive once more,
Eyes see no hope,
Tears that fell from Martin Luther King's face,
Tears that brought change to the society,
Tears from our late ancestors,
That are kept in our hearts,
Tears that fell for freedom,
Tears that fell for justice,
They fell so equality among human may exist,
Tears that brings together the brotherhood,
A negro speaks of peace,
Tears that need an end,
Waiting for an angel to deliver,
Somebody to wipe them off.
