Bucket of Tears

 

 If a bucket full of tears mopped our floors of tomorrow,

Could we steal happiness from today,

So our future selves could borrow?

 

Will those actions torment us like the running of the bulls?

Running for temporary satisfaction,

The unmaking our thoughts reveal a gouging transaction,

 

If the horns of our hearts somehow bring us to be,
Would the reflection of our future be clear enough to see?
A bucket of tears could mop the floor of our tomorrows,
Will you still spend it with me?

Bucket of Tears Part 2

 

If a bucket of tears mopped the floor of our tomorrow,

Then, we could use every hope for today to transform those sorrows,
Yet let’s choose not to borrow from its sunshine,
For our faith looks back at us from the frontline.

 

Tormenting me like running bulls,
I have been redeemed from the eternal pull,
The unmasking of my faith,
In his arms I have found mercy and grace.

 

If the horns of our hearts do bring us to be,
Then, Christ is where thy hearts should bring us to see,
If a bucket full of tears could mop the floor of our tomorrows,
Then in God will I spend it with it knowing that he can bind together any horror.
