and an imperfect you, I declare.
But I'll try, yes I'll try,
not to whine and not to cry
About what is and what is not fair
that you want to fly away
To a land where things are not so hard
While you're leaving here
Arm in arm, heart in heart
even tears can make you strong
Even tears, even our tears
I don't want you to go anywhere
I want you by my side forever
Soon it would be my old friend's home.
As she limped through the door,
she knew she'd never leave.
even tears can make you strong
Even tears, even our tears
I don't want you to go anywhere
Cherish the time, that's the advice
that I would give to the young
What the elders already feel,
but it's more than they can wield
will bleed as they grow old
even tears can make you strong
Even tears, even our tears
even tears can make you strong
Even tears, even our tears
