He feigns a heart of passion and strains to empathise,
He prays for hungry children, but tears don't fill his eyes,
He hears men scream in darkness and fears for their demise,
He calls on God to save them, but tears don't fill his eyes.

(Tears don't fall)
Tears don't fall, they don't fall down,
(Tears don't fall)
They don't fall down,
Tears don't fall, they don't fall down,
(Tears don't fall)
They don't fall down.

He wants to be a soldier, but not enough to die,
He loves the man of sorrows, but not enough to cry.

(Tears don't fall)
Tears don't fall, they don't fall down,
(Tears don't fall)
Oh, they don't fall down,
Tears don't fall, they don't fall down,
(Tears don't fall)
Oh, they don't fall down.

I the mirror, I fear the man I see, (tears don't fall)
I wonder how his heart could fall, (tears don't fall)
I lie awake at night and I curse his apathy, (tears don't fall)
Where's the fire in his soul' (tears don't fall)

(Tears don't fall)
(Tears don't fall)
(They don't fall down)
