Verdens tårer og oss

In any split second of a moment of time
In the blink that is one single day
The sum of the sorrow that wraps around the world
could catch every soul up and sweep them away

As vast as the ocean
as deep as the sea
Swept up in one toxic tide
By warm salty waves the world weeps its woes
So how could it be that my own eyes are dry?

So open my eyes and open my heart
And grant me the gift of your grieving
And awaken in me the compassion to weep
Just one of the tears of the world

Michael Card, the Tears of the World
