00:13Shining life beneath a clouded sky
00:20Endless sorrow where broken spirits lie
00:27And of tears, I draw the rider
00:33A beautiful flower once born, now cut away
00:43Grief is cold, merciless and severe
00:50Leaving bitter traces year after year
00:56The sudden loss of someone held dear
01:02Is a wound that cuts the heart so dear
01:10No words can truly ease the pain
01:14No simple truth can make it fade like shards of glass
01:20Beneath the skin, a cruel ash tearing from within
01:25When tears arrive with deep despair
01:28And darkness fills the empty air
01:32The light of life seems gone in a breath
01:36And warmth disappears beneath his waiting light
01:40Beneath the clouded sky
01:46Endless sorrow where broken spirits lie
01:51And of tears, I draw the rider
01:59A beautiful flower once born, now cut away
02:07All turns to ashes, mist and gray
02:11Salt tears blind the eyes
02:14Each day the heart grows hungry
02:16It's thread torn apart
02:18And pain is written upon the face
02:22Grief is an anchor forged of iron
02:25Dragging every cry into the silence
02:29It chokes in tears, it cuts like steel
02:32And night becomes too hard to breathe
02:35A thousand rivers begin to flow
02:39Turning every joy to cold sorrow
02:42A maze of anguish, sharp and deep
02:46With no clear path, no way to leave
02:50Only those who understand the chains that bind
02:55A grieving heart can tanny
02:58Enter where pain resides
03:00Without tearing open what still survives
03:03Shining light beneath the clouded sky
03:10Endless sorrow where broken spirits lie
03:16And of tears, I draw the rider
03:24A beautiful flower once born, now cut away
03:32It takes much more than a simple prayer
03:35To touch a wounded soul with care
03:39Those who enter without knowing the way
03:43May drown within the grief they seek to ease
03:47Time and tenderness can help to heal
03:50Giving a grieving soul the space to feel
03:54A love as strong as a diamond's light
03:57Can bring the lost one back from night
04:00Let the tears fall freely from the heart
04:04Let the hidden river have its start
04:07Yet even what can soothe the pain
04:11Can become a predator when it rains
04:14The rain will someday cease to fall
04:18And once again the sun will call
04:21Life is a flower fragrant and brief
04:25Breathe in its perfume and let your soul
04:28A shining light beneath the clouded sky
04:35Endless sorrow where broken spirits lie
04:42And of tears, I don't rot
05:08And of tears, I don't rot
05:16A beautiful flower once born, now cut away
05:22A beautiful flower once born, now cut away
05:23A beautiful flower once born, now cut away
