Don't Weep For Me

Some look at me and sigh because
They see what once they thought I was
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

Some look at me with sympathy
My clothes are old, my time is free
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

Some look at me with great disdain
Of my possessions few remain
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

Some think I’ve failed, have not prevailed
From God they say I’ve not availed
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

Some pierce my heart with words to hurt
To baser instincts they revert
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

Some walk past me, refuse to see
Some others laughing, mocking me
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

Some others lie and just stand by
Their faith, hope, love have gone awry
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

Some can’t sit still against their will
Like animals they seek to kill
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.

But worst of all some stand so tall
They know what's right but yet they fall
Don’t weep for me
I weep for thee.
