This is for tears  
the ones I can't cry  
though I know    
that's because  
I'm not by your side  
  
This is for freedom  
and an end to the pain  
For all new beginnings  
as we set out again  
  
This is for children  
putting hope in their hearts  
Bringing laughter and joy  
in a world of new starts  
  
This is for faith  
that the faithless may rise  
for sharing and giving  
with smiles in our eyes  
  
This is our dream  
that we've known all along  
we just have to change  
the path that we're on  
  
Today we are lost  
to hatred and greed  
if only we'd see  
that love's all we need  
  
Tomorrow is waiting  
for our wrongs to be right  
as we step from the dark  
and into the light  
  
This is for tears  
the ones I can't dry  
though I know    
that's because  
I'm not by your side
