A Lonely Beauty

Joseph C. Delgado

I hear your hollow laughter
The sign of secret pain
Pretending and inventing
Just to hide your shame
Plastic smiles and faces
Blinking back the tears
Empty friends and places
All magnify your tears

If you're tired and weary
Weak and heavy laden
I can understand how
It feels to be alone
I will take your burden
If you'll let me love you
Wrap my arms around you
Give your heart a home

It hurts to see you struggle
Try so hard to win
To trade your precious birthright
For candy coated sin
Wasting precious moments
Restless and confused
Building up defender
For fear that you'll be used

Take my yoke upon you
Walk here by my side
Let me heal your heartaches
Dry the tears you've cried
Never will I leave you
Never turn away
Keep you through the darkness
Lead you through the day

Give Your Heart A Home - Don Francisco
