How Many Tears Lyrics

BERTRANDE:
Oh lord I'm not the one to blame
Oh lord why must I line in shame?
Each night I light a candle in his name

How many tears through the years can I cry?
How many prayers to the lord must I try?
Still the pain tears at my broken heart
Sometimes I feel, I was cursed from the start

All I could hold
All I could see
So full of promise
Each day reaching out before me
Once... now there's nothing
Lost as if you never saw me

How many tears through the years can I cry?
How many tears until my heart runs dry?
Through the fights that a woman must fight
Only to do what she feels must be right

Sometimes I wonder
If someone hears
Why must I live through so many tears?
