Legend of a teardrop / Mama
There's a legend of a teardrop
that rolled down a cheek one day,
And it fell upon a tombstone
when a mother had gone to pray.
And it sparkled like a diamond
that it caught the eye of God...
This teardrop, born of sorrow
for a little child who died.
Was shed in grief and sadness
by the mother who cried.
But it had special meaning
to the Father up above.
For that teardrop was just loaded
with a mothers true love...
In it's loving sparkling brilliance
God recalled the teardrop home.
And he showed it to the little child
who, no more on earth would roam.
Then God took that brilliant teardrop
shed in love on earth afar.
And he placed it in the heavens
with it's brightest morning star...
When you look into the heavens
where ten million stars are spread.
You may see a lovely teardrop
That in sorrow, you have shed.....
