For those who travel
Through darkest night
Who long for help
And none’s in sight
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who have no heart
Who’ve long since left
It far apart
From the society
Which left you cold
A heart so young
And once so bold
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who have known
What it was to love
For it is you alone
Who have been tossed
Into despair
And there’s no one left
Whose love you’ll share
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who do not know
The meaning of
A life shadowed
Who are afraid
To look inside
Who Fear the truth
You’ll cower and hide
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who have been
To sanity’s end
And back again
You who’ve looked
Into nothingness
And have felt that
Complete emptiness
I cry for you…
I cry for you
The officers
Who’ve seen too much
And bear the scars
Of the night
Through which you ride
Feeling lonely
And hurting inside
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who see the pain
The endless tears
The pity, the shame
You who love
The one’s who’re lost
You with broken minds
And good faith crossed
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who are the hate
Who loathe the world
For it’s too late
To give you a chance
To love again
For all you see
Is darkest end
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who have no hope
Who are dangling
From your rope
About to leap
Forevermore
Into that pit
Through death’s door
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who only find
That the night
Gives peace of mind
You who hide
From light of day
And in the shadows
Fade away
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Whose soul is broken
Who cannot feel
Who give no token
That you have
Life left to live
Whose mind is shattered
Nothing left to give
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who have no home
Those whose company
Is the streets alone
Who seek help
From society
And are given
Only misery
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Whose trials are great
The games of life
You don’t appreciate
Who are torn down
And tossed away
Who travel to night
Leaving the day
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Whose search continues
Looking for good
And hope in venues
That don’t exist
Not here in the dark
These streets are barren
And the night is stark
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Children of night
For only you know
Your own life’s fight
You who’ve never seen
A kind hand
Or see them too often
Offered to another man
I cry for you…
I cry for you
Who’ve lost your way
Who’ve seen good men fall
And hide from day
Those who live in
The dead of night
Who ever give in
To misery’s plight
I cry for you…
I cry for you all
For your lot I know
For I’ve been there, too
On death’s row
Known the cruel feel
Of shadow’s hand
And have longed to leave
This tortured land
And all I have
To offer you
I fear is much more
And much too few
Than what you’ve received
In the past
And as always
Even this will pass
I give you my heart
And the thoughts of my mind
Maybe one day
Some peace you’ll find
But until you reach
That glorious time
Remember me
And these tears I cry
I cry for you…
