I see the pain that lies in his eyes

But, alas, his eyes are dry

And he will not cry

No, he won't.

I see the anger that burns from his gaze

The madness that sets his eyes ablaze

Still he will not cry

No, he won't.

I see the fear that closes his eyes

The smile he wears is but a disguise

And he will not cry

No, he won't.

I see the hope that's finally dead

He cannot trust for his heart has been bled

Yet he will not cry

No, he won't.

I see the love that lies within

But he says he’ll never love again

For he will not cry

No, he won't.

I see death's hand that has glazed his eyes

No one's seeing him die inside

And so, now they will not cry

No, they won't.
