Will the Tears Ever Stop

Will The Tears Ever stop?

Mothers and fathers bow
With a heart that is crying
Their children and love ones
Caught up and dying
A child goes away to get
An education
Not knowing through that day
Will arise a great awaking

The enemy approaches fast
To take what is not his
A mother holds her child
With her eyes fill with tears
How did this happen
Words I cannot say
Our love ones leave home
And their tomorrow ends today

Will the tears ever stop?
Because someone didn’t care
To raise a gun, pull the trigger
And leave a lifeless body there
What can we do, to make
Our surrounding safe
Is this an issue or may be
Even a debate

Mothers and fathers crying
And asking why
Who brought forth this raged
And kissed our kids good bye
An empty room, an empty chair
An empty heart for a child who
We wished was there

Babies are precious and
Who dare take their life
Who placed an empty hole
In a parent heart at night
The children are missed 
Their family loves them a lot
So when will this end, and
Will the tears ever stop?
