Tears - Ben LaMar Gay

It tastes like water

It feels like rain

All I want is power

The power to understand

It’s we who run them streets full of fire

With mama’s grocery list inside our hands

We bob and weave 'cause we’re no easy targets

Our dog has sensed the evil ways of man

It like a bell tower

Ring in line we call him

He guides the youth with some magic power

Licking tears fresh from human jaws

It tastes like water

It feels like rain

All I want is power

The power to understand

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

I can own it

Get close baby tell me how you do it

Can’t stop for long 'cause we live on the run

The joy he brings to them is a reminder

Them downtown castles could never block the sun

It’s we who carry groceries with our dog

The sorrow man he could never figure it out

On the way home he sees little Keisha crying

He stops real quick with tongue hanging from mouth

It tastes like water

It feels like rain

All I want is power

The power to understand

It tastes like water

It feels like rain

All I want is power

The power to understand
