MY EYE HAS NO MORE TEAR

CHORUS: My eye has no more tear to cry
Unless you cry with me.
I am the stranger in the night who disturbs your sleep
Though you try not to hear.
My back has no more strength to bear
But if you share the load with me
Then one day we could both be free.

1. Whose is the Earth today?
Who keeps the gift that was given to share?
Where is the treasure we found in the world
All round the world plenty for all? CHORUS

2. Why is the child so thin?
Who keeps the bread that was given to share?
Where is the harvest we raised with our toil
Grew from the soil - plenty for all? CHORUS

3. Deep at the heart of all
Beckons the love that was given to share.
The sky is so dark but the stars are clear
Far and yet near - plenty for all.

INTERLUDE then CHORUS
