Tears of Strangers

I see a family who lost everything
in a midnight flame
I see a town destroyed completely
by a hurricane
I see it n the TV screen
what am I supposed to feel?
its all so far away
it doesnt seem real

Its not a headline anymore
when it comes knocking at your door

Tears of strangers are only water
til they're running down your own face
Pain it doesnt matter when its off in some far place
but when the sky is falling and the mountains crumble
and the black tides start to rise
Tears of strangers are only water 
til they Fall from your own eyes

I see an earthquake shaking
a building to its core
I see a soldier dying
in someone elses war
all the pain they're going through
I see things I wish I never knew
just as long, as long 
as its not you

I see faces without names
but Im crying just the same

Tears of strangers are only water
til theyre running down your own face
Pain it doesnt matter
when its off in some far Place
and when the fire gets closer
and the truth hits harder
and the night cuts through the lies
tears of strangers are only water
til they fall from your own eyes

Tears of strangers are only water
til they're running down your own face
Pain it doesnt matter when its off in some far place
but when the sky is falling and the mountains crumble
and the black tides start to rise
Tears of strangers are only water 
til they Fall from your own eyes
Tears of strangers are only water
til they fall from your own eyes……….
