Don't try to reach me I'm already dead The pain when it grips me For things that I've done Well, I try to make you proud But for crying out loud Just give me a chance to hide away Exhaustion takes over Will this someday be over
CHORUS:
Fearful tears are running down The pain you've laid don't speak a sound Don't take my heart away from me And they think I fell down
Daddy, don't you love me Then why do you hit me And, mama, don't you love me Then why do you hurt me Well, I try to make you proud But for crying out loud Just give me a chance to hide away Exhaustion takes over Will this someday be over
[CHORUS]
A teardrop falls From up in the heavens Drowning the sorrow Of angels on high For the least of the helpless The hopeless, the loveless My Jesus, his children He holds in his eyes
