I will tell you why I cry
By Baba Galleh Jallow
I will tell you why I cry
Even kneeling before the sacred light
Even chanting the sacred verse
Even filled with the sacred love
My heart rejoicing in blissful rapture
At the glory of my Lord
I will tell you why I cry
Why my eyes turn to fountains
Why my cheeks become waterfalls
Even as I praise the Lord
For blessing me with so much joy
For keeping me so safe and sound
For leading me unto His light
For making me one who believes
I will tell you why I cry
Why pain daily dances on my face
Why my smiles refuse to shine
Why my heart is full of sand 
Even when I feel so blessed
Even when my spirit laughs
At the follies of this world
I will tell you why I cry
Because the one I thought I knew
Is not the one I think I know
Because the friend I thought I had
Is not the friend I think I have
Because the one I thought different
Seems not so different after all
Seems the same as all the others
Who see the forest for the trees!
