A tear that couldn't die...

It took life from my eye, the tear that couldn’t die

You know it couldn’t lie, it couldn’t lie to you

It ran along my face and filled an empty space

It rolled and left a trace, a feeling oh so true

It was a tear of joy that nothing could destroy

I was a lonely boy inside this box of chrome

Just like a shining light, a fire burning bright

Nothing could be so right, the glory that was Rome

It grew inside these arms, a hug that soothes, disarms

Protected from all harms, I’ve never felt so sure

It grew inside my soul, and made you my one goal

Emerging from this hole, to something whole and pure

It was a hug of love sent to me from above

Of which I can’t get enough that made me sing my poem

It took me to the end and made me backwards bend

I saw you as my friend, and you are where I’m from

The glory that was Rome

I’m happy I’m alive and until I arrive

I’ll make sure I’ll survive, until I come back home

It may be a bumpy ride, but now my pride has died, you’re all I have inside

And you’re my home sweet home, not the glory that was Rome
