Ain’t that a typical way to be
All wrapped up in our misery
Forget the good so we can think about the bad
We only like to look at all the things we wish we had
Give ourselves the pity we so rightfully deserve
We’d like to say we’re thankful, but we just don’t have the nerve
‘Cause there’s comfort here in our misery
So we shed our tears living in the lap of luxury
Oh, there’s tears for thе taking
Oh, but tears can make you blind
Oh, therе’s a world that is aching
Oh, in our reluctance to give
We’re leaving them far behind
How can we be so blind
How can we fail to see
That thankful people with thankful hearts
Is what we’re called to be
Our God’s a God of Grace
But can we look Him in the face
I just hope He can have some mercy
When He looks down and sees
Our tear stained lap of luxury
Oh, there’s tears for the taking, oh, yeah
Oh, but tears can make you blind
Oh, will our conscience awaken?
Oh, or do we suffer in slumber?
Are we content with this state of the mind?
Oh, there’s tears for the taking
Oh, but tears can make you blind
Oh, there’s a world that is aching
Oh, in our reluctance to give
We’re leaving them far behind
Leaving them far behind
