On my way I saw a tear
On the barren road so clear
A little ahead there were more
Sorrowful like the one before
Intrigued I was to know whose wail
Had left behind a teary trail
I followed the tears to where they led
With the sunny sun shining overhead
The weather was cheerful bright and gay
Who could be crying on such a beautiful day?
Maybe a mother who has lost her boy
Maybe a girl who has lost her toy
Maybe a bird whose wings are cut
Maybe a man whose heart was hurt
So many thoughts popped in my head
To an alley as I was led
There I saw sitting all alone
The man we call ‘The Funny Bone’
His crying I saw had just no ends
His head was down hid in his hands
I stood there confused thinking what to do
I never knew clowns dropped tears too
Then suddenly my mind did click
Surely it was just another trick

Though I know the end is nigh
I keep walking on
For I hear my brother cry
Crying all alone
…
My mother keeps not too well
Her ail is unknown
I remember that she did foretell
Dying all alone
…
For my father is out of reach
Buried ‘neath a stone
With all words that he did preach
Sighing all alone
…
Now’s my turn to throw my guard
And keep walking on
In the mouth of a graveyard
Walking all alone

How innocent he lays at night
How devilish during the day
He can tell wrong from right
Yet he walks the unrighteous way

A dead man has no secrets
A mere soulless body
Should I walk the same way
In this unforgiving journey?
I’ve walked a different path so far
Footprints I can’t erase
Too scared to look in the mirror
Watch the sinful face
No matter how straight my path now
The lies are still in sight
The monster eats me from inside
Lies keep me up at night

God has written our fate
Everything goes as planned
If I’ve ever hurt you
I never meant it, my friend
I may have wronged you
Caused you a lot of pain
I may have hurt you
Now you know who to blame
Nothing is in my hands
It is all God’s will
I may have hurt you ere
I may hurt you still

Before I go to sleep let me say my prayer
If I have you wronged I don’t really care
You never ever bothered about how I feel
I gave you a wound that will never heal
You called yourself a friend. Laughed behind my back
Secure your heart away lest I paint it black
You lied to my face. You did it pretty well
Sleep while you can. ‘Morrow I give you hell

There will come a train
That will take me away
Take me away from here
I would have no bags with me
No luggage or companion
Just my body and soul
I will go wherever it takes me
Far away from here
Whenever that time may come
There will come a train
That travels to another world
Carrying other people like me
Hearts will be laid out
Secrets will be revealed
Gambles will be paid off
With anonymous whispers
Of anonymous thoughts
In anonymous heads
There will come a train
On tracks made of gold
On tracks that are heaven-bound

The quiet night has a message
The roads are calm and serene
The leaves have all turned pale
From the afternoon’s green
In contrast my dejected heart
Fights a hundred battles
Hear the cries and screams
Hear the rales and rattles
Lying in my bed I wonder
As in two pieces I am torn
If my heart will make it through
The light of next day morn’
