Lyrics
Look at all this heartache
How can this be true?
No one should ever feel the pain
That someone did to you
I count all my blessings
While others have so few
You've been waiting for a lifetime just to smile
And my heart cries for you
Every soul should blossom
Sheltered from the cold
Cradled in the arms of love
A smiling heart and soul
I dream of grace and goodness
And broken lives repaired
Maybe one day that dream can come true
Still my heart cries for you
So many lives get broken
And so few lend a hand
So many eyes just turn away
It's hard to understand
Out of sight means out of mind
But tortured souls live on
How can all these lives just be forgotten
My heart cries for you
Every soul should blossom
Sheltered from the cold
Cradled in the arms of love
A smiling heart and soul
I dream of grace and goodness
And broken lives repaired
Maybe one day that dream can come true
Still my heart cries for you
I count all my blessings
While others have so few
You've been waiting for a lifetime just to smile
And my heart cries for you
