Unseen Tears

 
I shed tears to understand this hell of which we live.  
To earn my wings and enjoy my rest, there's nothing I wouldn't give.
2 million and some odd women multiplying everyday.
200 thousand some odd black men dying while their trying to find a way.
My eyes are black, deep within - no light within my world.
Darkness seems to be my best friend in a white world, I am a rare black pearl.
Unique by just a mile. Yes, that's how I seem to be.  
No telling what my smile is saying, what is in my mind will tell you about my inner mystery...

Star light, start bright, I wish I had a star tonight.  
I wish I may, I wish I might, wish upon my star tonight.  
To have just one wish, I would cherish it everyday.  
While others would waste theirs, by my heart my wish would always stay.  
I'd keep it for eternity so I could have some hope.  
With everyday I shed a tear, my wish would help me cope.  
Tears of joy and tears of pain wouldn't seem so bad.  
Because beside me there would be a wish upon a star that no one has ever had.
