Andrew Peterson: After the Last Tear Falls

After the last tear falls
After the last secret's told
After the last bullet tears through flesh and bone

After the last child starves
And the last girl walks the boulevard
After the last year that's just too hard

There is Love
Love, Love, Love
There is Love
Love, Love, Love
There is Love

After the last disgrace
After the last lie to save some face
After the last brutal jab from a poison tongue

After the last dirty politician
After the last meal down at the mission
After the last lonely night in prison

There is Love
Love, Love, Love
There is Love
Love, Love, Love
There is Love

And in the end, the end is oceans and oceans of Love and Love again
We'll see how the tears that have fallen
Were caught in the palms of the Giver of Love and the Lover of all
And we'll look back on these tears as old tales

'Cause after the last plan fails
After the last siren wails
After the last young husband sails off to join the war

After the last “this marriage is over”
After the last young girl's innocence is stolen
After the last years of silence that won't let a heart open

There is Love
Love, Love, Love
There is Love

And in the end, the end is oceans and oceans of Love and Love again
We'll see how the tears that have fallen
Were caught in the palms of the Giver of Love and the Lover of all
And we'll look back on these tears as old tales

'Cause after the last tear falls, there is Love
After the last tear falls, there is Love

Meadow green and river wide
Valley deep and mountain high
Meadow green and river wide
Valley deep and mountain high
Meadow green and river wide
Valley deep and mountain high
Meadow green and river wide
Valley deep and mountain high

After the last tear falls
