Jewel - No More Tears (from the documentary 'Lost in America')

It's been a tremendous honor to be an Executive Producer and to work on this film, Lost in America. It is a subject that is so dear to my heart. I was homeless for a year when I was 18 --I started living in my car because a boss withheld my pay check when I refused his sexual advances. When my car got stolen things got more difficult from there. The issue of homeless youth is important, misunderstood and overlooked. I was so moved as I was working on this film, that I was inspired to write a song for the youth I came to know through the process. It was a transformative experience to see the film come together and to write this song and be able to record it. It's all of our jobs to make sure that there are no more youth that are lost in America.

LYRICS

Heartbreak is like the weather ravaging my soul
But I know it moves on
Storms are followed by the most beautiful blue skies
And I will keep carrying on

They say God only gives you what you’re strong enough to handle
Well I must be pretty god damn strong
But the will to survive is acknowledging I am alive
And I will keep traveling on

You see love is a mystery
And I still see its shining face
There are no more sad songs, just blue skies
No more tears to cry

Lord knows you can’t lose all of the time
So dry those pretty eyes
Lift that proud face ‘cause I still see a beautiful place
Left for you and I

Love is a mystery
And I still see its shining face
There are no more sad songs, just blue skies
No more tears to cry

As long as there’s a child’s laughter
As long as there’s a starry starry sky
As long as there’s a beating in my chest
There’s a willingness to try
As long as I see poetry in ordinary things
You know I will, I will, I will, I will
See love’s shining face
There are no more sad songs, just blue skies
There are no more tears, sweet heart
There are no more tears
There are no more tears to cry

After 25 years, Jewel finally came up with a strong ballad classic song that it's so good. It's high time that Grammy should recognizes her worth as an artist. She deserves not only a nomination, but an award for this.

22 years ago, a girl was travelling around Australia and listened to Pieces Of You on repeat and still listens from time to time as it reminds her of her journey from girl to woman...thanks Jewel 💎🖤

This is a really good song to listen to in the car and at home while you cry your heart out. ❤

If anyone would understand what it's like to be lost in America, and than finding her way out of that place of loneliness to find her shining star, it would have to be you Jewel! I hope everyone see;'s the film and discovers a piece of themselves that they didn't know existed.

Jewel continues to show what an amazing person she is. I love her so much. And, I had the chance to meet her before a show back in May of 2015. Simply an amazing human being.

Wow! Jewel is back!! This has got to be one of the best she had ever sang. Truly a masterpiece that hits right in the feelings. Sad songs never sounded so good!

[PlumbPitiful]

Best vocal she's ever done by far. Truly amazing

[martinzed]

Well, if a landmark vocal performance like this can’t raise awareness, nothing can.

[mikehouston]

Jewel never ceases to amaze me with her beautiful songs and her wonderful spirit of always being there to help others. She is absolutely one of the best entertainers in this world, who always gives everything she has into all of her quests. I'm sure she will continue to help the down trodden as she goes onward in this world of unpredictable times. God bless her.
