Love for Tears Tanya Goodman Sykes (Ft. 4Him)

A blonde-haired child lay fast asleep
Beneath the bridge off Utah Street
Momma's up front, he's in the back
Of a rusted out broken-down Pontiac

Remembering a time not long ago
They didn't have to worry about the bitter cold
Wrapped up and worn in a house of stone
On a Southern farm in a place called home

Papa made a living in the Georgia clay
When the boy turned four, Dad passed away
Momma tried hard to make ends meet
But the weight of the world dealt a tough defeat
Which is why they sleep off Utah Street

Love is a blanket
Love is a meal
Helping hands reaching
Where no one else will
Love is for free
You gotta give love away
Saying I love you
In a tangible way
Living love from your heart
Watching joy replace fear
Trading someone love for tears
