No Tears Of Joy
No more tears of joy Only tears of sorrow haunt me each and every day In bereavement for family and loved ones prematurely taken away Permanently my head is bowed in a sorrowful way When I was a child I had a dream That when I grew up I expected a happy life I expected a loving child and a wife In a nice house and neighbourhood A nice car to get me from A to B But that dream has not worked out for me The more loved ones that where taken away The more my mental capacity went astray Until came the point I could take no more I felt the grim reaper was knocking at my door There where times i was going to let him in Then God could judge me sin by sin I was going to allow him to take my soul For my mind was out of control I was even going to do his job for him Suicidal I tried to do myself in But being a coward my second thoughts considered it to be a sin In this predicament I just carn't win So today and yesterday and all the tomorrows I will have my head bowed with the ground close to my chin
