Tears Of Sorrow Lyrics

Ego lies in human nature
Scars the face in every one of us
What's mine is mine
What's yours is yours
It seems like we forget about the heaven's floor

Set a wider gap between us
We build up walls without no shame
We turn away
If you're not one of us
But I thought, there's one color in our blood

c/o

We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

Greed demands our full attention
We only live for our own gain it seems
What's mine is mine
What's yours is yours
I fear we'll lose the faith we ignore

Now look around to find an answer
The truth it comes as no surprise
You're not alone, you're any one of us
I'm not blind to the mirror of our lives

We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living live that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

(bridge)

Around in circles
A truth eternal
So superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

We run around in circles
Why not reach for a truth eternal
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

We run around in circles
Oohhhh
Living life that's so superficial
We'll drown in the tears of sorrow

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The lyrics of this song convey the animosity and hatred, discrimination in the world. In a lot of ways, we try to reach spiritual truths,and we try to unite as human beings, but preconceived notions and presumptions get in the way
