A tear fell in the ocean
and disappeared from sight
Like a vision once in focus
extinguished by the night
I know its only hiding
and waiting for that time
When a cloud it passes by it
and it jumps up for a ride
The Angels guard its presents
and cradle it with care
For they know the one that weep it
in a moment of despair
They’ll help it on its journey
across an empty sky
Until it meets a mountain
which God alone can climb
Right then the cloud will cast it
out upon the wind
Where it will fall with raindrops
To wash away earths sins
For a teardrop small and salty
belies what it can do
Until it joins life’s ocean
and cleans the world anew
