I have a tear in my eye.

I have a tear in my eye.

I have a tear in my eye.
Look and you can see.
It is building slowly.

Just waiting to fall.
What is in it?
What falls with it?

Is it pain?
Is it sadness?
Is it joy?

There is a tear in my eye.
Ready to fall.
Won’t you wipe it away?

I have a tear in my eye.
Just knowing you are walking away.
Just knowing you won’t be back again.

I have a tear in my eye.
Just watching you come into the World.
Just watching you grow into a man.

I have a tear in my eye.
Knowing you are going to war again.
Being so very proud and so very scared at the same time.

I have a tear in my eye.
And the question is why?
Will you watch it fall?
Or wipe it away?

I have a tear in my eye.
