Homeless people in paper houses,
Only shadows of days gone by,
Where is the hope in their eyes'
Faith is failing and hopes are fading,
Lifeless people whose dreams have died,
Empty souls with nothing left inside.

Tears are falling, tears are falling,
The whole world is crying tonight,
Crying for someone to bring them the light,
Oh, the whole world is crying tonight.

Feel the pain of a wounded heart,
Weak and weary, and torn apart,
A touch of love can heal a heart,
Who can pick up the broken pieces'
Who can make their life complete'
Who will go to the outcast on the streets'

Tears are falling, tears are falling,
The whole world is crying tonight,
Crying for someone to bring them the light,
Oh, the whole world is crying tonight.

(crying, crying)

For the tears of the world, he died,
The man of sorrow was crucified,
His love can dry every tear.

Tears are falling, whoa, tears are falling,
The whole world is crying tonight,
Crying for someone to bring them the light,
Oh, the whole world is crying tonight,
Oh, tears are falling, tears are falling,
The whole world is crying tonight,
Crying for someone to bring them the light,
Oh, the whole world is crying tonight.

Oh,
See the tears coming down,
Feel the tears.

Oh.
