Annie rides the subway
Back to Harrison and Fifth
Planning dinner all the way back home
She thinks he’ll be there waiting
He always was before
But she don’t know what’s not behind that door.
It’s punch in the gut, it’s the weight of the world
Shoved down on the shoulders of a silent, lonely girl
She’ll fight this one alone, unnoticed, insecure,
Tell me who is crying tears with her?
Rodney’s rolling right along
As best a young man can
When mom is in the pen for killing dad
He masks it with the thrills
Of a bottle and some pills
But he don’t know what’s just behind that door
It’s a kick in the face, it’s life in a cell
For a young boy’s life to taste that much like hell
His smile was soon betrayed by demons deep within
Tell me who was crying tears with him?
Michelle is in a hospital
Barely hanging on
A decade’s battle coming to an end
Her body’s just a shell
But You know that so well
And only You know what’s just beyond that door.
It’s a beautiful mess, It’s a sure uncertainty
To know who we are, in such weak fragility.
But the tears they say You shed when Lazarus was dead
Help me know that You’ve cried tears for us.
