THE TEARDROP

I swell with pride
I'm on my way
to see the great light of day
My master my keeper,
has held me in,
afraid to show the world within
the love he has for one so dear
Oh please let me be that grateful tear.

His eyes are red
I'm just right there
time to show the world how much he cares
Down I come upon his cheek,
leaving behind a tear stained streak,
but when I land upon the ground,
I am glad to know that I am free.

It isn't much
to be a tear,
but to be the one
to show no fear.
I am gone but not forgot,
that single tear that love begot.
