What are these tears?
What are these tears?
Rising from the fountain of the heart
Flowing like the sad waves of the sea
Dropping from the eyes of a dejected lover
But if they drop on the hopes of a heart
They turn into diamonds
And if drop into a shell
Turn into a pearl
And if dropped on the soul
It turns into a smile
And if it drops on the sand of a desert
It turns into an oasis
As they have the power
To grow deep in heart and soul
