"We are gems without appraisal, we are stones beyond peers, why is anyone surprised by our river of tears?"

Written with the pains of our world in mind, this song goes out to everyone who is hurting.

lyrics

I lived ten thousand lives
In my lands of dreaming
When I am awake, that is the
Nightmare that leaves me quaking

I see millions of beings
The cities are teaming
So are the countries
So is our earth

I hear multitudinous cries
Everything is aching
Pain to the bone
Hurts to give birth

We are gems without appraisal
We are stones beyond peers
Why is anyone surprised
By our river of tears

She had the brightest of futures
But her people weren’t with her
Unless she dressed the girl
Smiling more, changing parts

The smell of corruption
Sickening her bones
And her mind
And her heart

Touching men who kill her
In ways every woman knows
Inertia sets in
It seems impossible to start

We are gems without appraisal
We are stones beyond peers
Why is anyone surprised
By our river of tears

Even a jewel’s
Time isn’t infinite
Water and wind
Change everything
Without a hope
To get out of it
Cruel or kind
Doesn’t matter at all

We are gems without appraisal
We are stones beyond peers
Why is anyone surprised
By our river of tears

Yeah, We are gems without appraisal
We are stones beyond peers
Why is anyone surprised
By our river of tears

River of Tears
