When the tears come down ft. James Kelly Lyrics

Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

You know my name You know my pain

You call my name You calm my pain

Sometimes I look at the smile And I don't wanna wear it

Like a ferret just burrow in a hole But yet I bear it life's hard

And anyone denying it is lying Feel like laying down and dying

Yet I'm fighting and I'm trying Watching women crying

Over children murdered in the street All for gangbanging

Just because he heard it in a beat Trying to be the top dog boss

Hogging on the block But you're just a lost cause

Wandering in a flock And you're heading for a cliff

Where everybody's jumping Filling your mind with nonsense

Because everybody's bumping Look for something to believe in

But not amongst the heathen I found the truth

And now I'm ready to die for it like Steven Even in middle class suburbs

Violence is inspired families Raped and beat senseless

And tossed onto a pyre and higher In upper class mansions with formality

Hollywood elitists Locked in sexual immorality

And when the rain pours down I remember his tears

His love and his compassion His 33 years

And I remember my cross That was placed upon his back

And his grace and his mercy That he embraced for all of man

Then my tears come too In a whirlwind of emotions

Thinking of mankind's sins Its lusts and its devotions

So its tears shed of sorrow Cause I was beastly as the rest

And he set me apart from sin Like the east is from the west

And I know that I'm unworthy It's not what I deserve

Yet he said come son Your spot has been reserved

And I'm unnerved Yet I'm strengthened through his might

So I hit my knee Caps with prayers lengthened

Through the night And remember

Hearing the news about my sister Her incurable disease

And thinking how I missed her Her graduation

From high school and her wedding This is real life I'm painting

Not an imaginary setting And regretting

All the years that my mother's been without me

Telling my loved ones I love them Sincerely yet they doubt me

And I just pray for a respite Tears soak into my pillow

As I lay throughout the night And every time I call home

I hear of a procedure A spinal injection

Knee surgery A seizure

And leisure time Is when the reverie runs rampant

Rifts and separation of family wishing I could clamp it

But it seems Reconciliation's a long shot

Nobody wants to ease up they all want to stay up on top

And I don't know what to do I'm at a loss for words now

So I put my trust in you Even though it hurts now

I've had more family members Pass away in two months

Than all the rats that you can find And add up in two dumps

I know some of them were saved So I'm glad they're not hurting

But I don't know where my brothers at And that thought is disconcerting

Now put that in your mouth Chew it up and then digest it

If you think that by your actions No one else has been affected

These are eclectic thoughts Of a mind that was unhinged

Bordering on the brink of insanity They call the fringe

So I cried why God? Why them and not me

Why can't I take all of the pain That's on them upon me

I took my inheritance And ran off into the world

But you sat and waited patiently While my plan got unfurled

And I dived off the cliff Head first

And you caught me And you shook your head no

And reminded me you bought me So I bowed in submission

But it wasn't because I had to I thought of your grace love and mercy

And I was glad to And when the tears come down

They come down with gladness You saved me from death

And out of a world in all its madness You cleansed all my sin

My tears aren't of sadness My tears are of joy

Thinking of how good my dad is And when the tears come down

They come down with gladness You saved me from death

And out of a world in all its madness You cleansed all my sin

My tears aren't of sadness My tears are of joy

Thinking of how good my dad is

You know my name You know my pain

You call my name You calm my pain
