Through the eyes of sorrow I have seen
Of happiness and sorrow I have been between
I have known the joys of a child
To the loss of a dream to be reconciled
I have known the pain in the loss of a dream
When from aching deep within came tears a steady stream
Longing for a child to know and to hold
But the dream died and became cold
No way to rewrite the days gone
No way to learn a different song
It is a painful loss of a dream not new
It is a long dark dreary walk known to few
It is a walk not freely taken
But not to walk leaves a child forsaken
Through sorrow and loss I have come to learn
Not for joy and happiness to yearn
But to accept and seek to grow
Through eyes of sorrow a child to know
It is not just the dreams but life to live
It is not just the loss but love to give
Don't be blinded by sorrow's eyes
Only empty tears to cry
Missing the beautiful sight clear
Of a precious child held so dear
Through the eyes of sorrow see
Not just the lost dream but a sweet reality
