Verse 1
As birds of a feather flock together,
And go flying in the sky,
There's a lost and lonely little girl,
And she's trying so hard not to cry,
Yeah her heart is brave, and her soul is strong,
But her sun never seems to shine,
She's always been the last number,
Who waits at the end of the line,

Chorus 1
For her I cry these tears of blood,
And I watch them turn into gold,
For that little girl who's growing up
In a world so cruel and cold,
Where are they when she reaches out,
Where is a hand she can hold?
For she'll cry these tears of blood

Verse 2
Now she's growing up, but nothing has changed,
Still she has nobody else,
But one day her walls will come caving in,
She'll be trapped inside herself,
So she keeps on watching her life pass by,
And her fortress goes up with her age,
But she'll never know until it's too late,
And she's locked herself inside a cage,

Chorus 2
For her I cry these tears of blood,
And I watch them turn into gold,
For that young woman who's building up
A prison so cruel and cold,
Why isn't anyone reaching out,
To give her a hand she can hold,
To dry all her tears of blood,

Verse 3
Now she's drawn so far inside,
She's forgotten the sight of the sun,
She spends her days crying tears of blood,
She's grown too weak to run,
'Cause even though she's all grown up,
And she's trapped her emotions inside,
She's still that scared little girl in her heart,
Searching for someplace to hide,

Chorus 3
For her I cry these tears of blood,
And I watch them turn into gold,
For a broken woman tryin' to live
In a world so cruel and so cold,
Why didn't anyone ever reach out,
And give her a hand she could hold?
Can't they see her crying tears of blood,
Her tears of blood
