Beckoning Journey Alone


His eyes are green because he cries inside
They're shining and hurt from tears in his soul
I look into his eyes and pain stares back
His eyes are green because he cries inside

He wears a vague smile upon his face
A grin or a laugh is often seen
But I look closer, what do I see?
That smile is a mask to hide his fear

His voice is crying and sobbing inside
I can hear a lifetime of tears
He sings of comfort in being all alone
But in reality he needs a friend

His eyes are green because he screams inside
They're bright and hollow like his soul
I look into his eyes and confusion stares back
His eyes are green because he screams inside

His eyes are green because he screams inside
His eyes are green because he cries
His eyes are green because no one hears
His eyes are green, but I hear
