He’s felt the slaps time and again,
He’s heard the pleas and lies,
He’ll not believe he now is safe
As he looks on with empty eyes.
He wants to scream and tell them all
That the love just never dies,
But there is only silence in his world
As he looks on with empty eyes.
He can’t go home and he can’t go on
without those family ties,
But there are only strangers in his sight
As he looks on with empty eyes.
The casket is white but the sky is black
As the mourner sobs and cries,
The tears are streaming but he does not know
That they come from his empty eyes.
God care for my mom now, he asks
in a voice both old and wise,
His heart was broke and reflected then
In the depth of his empty eyes.
