As a child I would cry without shame
Then as a man I’d build walls to stop the rain
When my daddy died I threw my pain against the wind
I couldn’t cry
Couldn’t look within
In my time
Love
Left me alone
Look at my shadows
Craving to atone
Knowing now I only need to cry
Cry without shame
She lived life for her children to be free
And when she died a better world then would be
Every day she suffered men she would never choose
She didn’t cry
Not afraid to lose
Hear her now
Live
Call out her name
Endure the sorrow
Truth of her refrain
The hurt she knew should only ever cry
Cry without shame
We have the power to live for what’s real
Call out the darkness remember how to feel
Some people say it’s clear that the world is all but through
It’s over now
Nothing we can do
Look inside
Feel
Don’t fear the pain
Embrace the shadows
The wind and the rain
A world of hurt also needs to cry
Cry without shame
