When all the tears run dry,
When all the hearts stop breaking,
When all the fears just pass them by.
This is the day when I won't just walk by, (the hungry, the broken man)
It's finally time I hear them when they cry,
I'm no saviour, but I've been saved,
I got to reach out, share a little hope along the way,
Gonna lift you up...lift you up higher and higher,
But it's not enough, try though I may.
When all the tears run dry,
When all the hearts stop breaking,
When all the fears just pass them by,
That's all that I ask for, all that I pray for,
And the moment it's over, I'll be satisfied.
Why do we say that's just the way things are? (the lonely, the empty eyes)
Why do the weary have to walk so far?
I'm no hero, I may never be, but I do know what's hurting them is hurting me,
So I'm reaching out, reaching out,
Got to do something, and I won't rest 'til they're set free.
When all the tears run dry,
When all the hearts stop breaking,
When all the fears just pass them by,
That's all that I ask for, all that I pray for,
And the moment it's over, I'll be satisfied.
Let me see the way - I'll be satisfied,
Show me it's ended - oh,
Let me see the day when there's no more crying.
When all the fears just pass them by,
That's all that I ask for, all that I pray,
When all the tears run dry,
When all the hearts stop breaking,
When all the fears just pass them by.
