i created this account just for this: I think this song AND Double The Pain are both some underlying understanding Ronnie had about his own pain from the cancer.. he knew something was up now, I've read he wasn't diagnosed until December of 09 but he must be been in pain while writing and probably pushed it off it complete his dream but noted that his pain and suffering would probably kill him... btw none of this is fact, just speculation.. but I think 'follow the tears' mean follow the rain, "it's everywhere" because Ronnie's going to heaven.. for future generations listening, those looking for him, when he's gone.. Dio is beyond my favorite artist and I've listened to everything he's produced countless times but this song feels like a message for those seeking him after he knows he'll pass sooner or later..
