You will dry your tears now   You will cry no more   The sadness you are feeling   You won't feel any more   You are not to blame   For the trail of tears      The journey begins now   With the death of your friend   A new moon is with us   To shed light where darkness falls   His time had ended   He will return soon      Reasons for this madness   Beyond both you and I   The truth it comes so slowly   It ends all too soon   How could you have known   That he'd give it all away      So what have we done   To choose your fate   How do you feel   When your dreams come tumbling down   Do you feel responsible   Do you take the blame      In this final hour   He gave it all away   To look beyond the reasons   There is a sense of hope   I know what you're feeling   The pain he put you through      But the time has come   To forget the past   And lay to rest   All the bitter memories   There is a reason   It's beyond you and I   There is a reason   Beyond your trail of tears      From: Flowers For The Gathering      by Chris McCarter & Michael Carrodus
