Andrew Peterson - After The Last Tear Falls lyrics

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
(Love, love love) there is love
After the last tear falls (Love, love, love)
There is love (Love, love, love)
Meadow green and the river wide
(Love, love, love)
Valley deep and the mountain high
(Love, love, love)
Meadow green and the river wide
(Love, love, love)
Valley deep and the mountain high (Only love)
Meadow green and the river wide
(Love, love, love)
Valley deep and the mountain high (Only)
Meadow green and the river wide
(Love, love, love)
Valley deep and the mountain high
After the last tear falls
