John Wetton - Take These Tears
Lyrics:I saw an eagle flying higher and higher, towards the sunAs it passed over me, it turned its head, and seemed to smileBut I could see it had tears in its eyesWhy, father, why?Hush little children, don't ask such questions, I'm just a manI worked my fingers to the bone, to build a world for you, the best I canI sold my conscience some would say, fought and struggled, to see you growDon't make me cry an endless river, or tell you where the eagles goOh very young one I know, it hurts you deep inside, the way that things are goingYour day will come for sure, forgive me for the seeds I'm sowingTake these tears, from my eyesLet me see the peace, that I have been deniedI was strong, long agoNow I know that I'll hand over to the youngWhen tomorrow comes Sleep little children, don't look in judgment, close your eyesYou're the only ones tonight to see the angels in the skiesSo many times I dreamed that I would show you the promised landNow it hurts me to see the promise scattered like grains of sandOh, very young one, be strong, the burden that I bear is more than I can carryYour day will come for sure, if paradise is in your heart, take it!Take these tears, from my eyesLet me see the peace that I have been deniedI was strong, long agoNow I know that I'll hand over to the youngWhen tomorrow comesRest easy tonightFor tomorrow the end of the earthWill be in your tender handsSo realize your dreamAnd be the best the world has seen...
