You will dry your tears now

You will cry no more

The sadness you are feeling

You won't feel any more

You are not to blame

For the trail of tears



The journey begins now

With the death of your friend

A new moon is with us

To shed light where darkness falls

His time had ended

He will return soon



Reasons for this madness

Beyond both you and I

The truth it comes so slowly

It ends all too soon

How could you have known

That he'd give it all away



So what have we done

To choose your fate

How do you feel

When your dreams come tumbling down

Do you feel responsible

Do you take the blame



In this final hour

He gave it all away

To look beyond the reasons

There is a sense of hope

I know what you're feeling

The pain he put you through



But the time has come

To forget the past

And lay to rest

All the bitter memories

There is a reason

It's beyond you and I

There is a reason

Beyond your trail of tears
