Tears of God - Los Lobos

When it’s up to you

To figure what’s right and wrong

It’s someone else’s parade

And yours is an unhappy song

When it hurts so bad

And you feel you can’t go on

Each day goes by too fast

And the nights are so very long

You’ll find out true

What mother said to you

The tears of God will show you the way

The way to turn

When your only escape

Is a cheap nickel wine

And the peace you need in your heart

Is so very hard to find

It’s a stubborn life we lead

And there’s never no rest

Trouble’s out there looking for you

Even when you try your best

You’ll find out true

What mother said to you

The tears of God will show you the way

The way to turn

Hide not your head

The way to turn

Hear what He once said

He’ll show you the way

For there is a world for you and me

Where the blind, too, can see

Through the tears of God

The Son of the Maker said

«This is my cross to bear»

Taking off of our shoulders

Something we should have shared

You’ll find out true

What mother said to you

That tears of God will show you the way

The way to turn
