Lyrics:
Hey yay yay yay yay yay yay yay Hey yay yay yay yay yay yay yay
[VERSE]
I can’t keep it together
I usually don’t show my emotions
But it ain’t getting better
Cause you can’t be blind with eyes wide open And I see struggle
I see pain
I see only the mess we made
I see things that I can’t change
And it hurts my heart to say
[CHORUS]
I cry
For the sons without fathers And the pain that the mothers Hold deep inside
And I’ll fight
For the future we’re making
It can change if we face it Cause these tears won’t dry
So I cry
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh
[VERSE]
When I look in the mirror
Do I see someone that cares for others
Oh no no no no no....
Do I love myself more than my sisters... and brothers... I don’t know
Now I’ve see struggles
I’ve seen pain
I’ve seen beyond the mess we’ve made
I’ve seen things that we can not change
And it hurts my heart to say
[CHORUS]
I cry
For the sons without fathers And the pain that the mothers
“ I CRY “
Hold deep inside
So I’ll fight
For the future we’re making
It’ll change if we face it Cause these tears won’t dry
So I cry
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I cry
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Cry
[BRIDGE]
For the truth that’s unspoken For the promises broken
I will stand by your side
I’ll fight
For the ones who stop dreaming And the ones who stop believing You’re not alone
I feel your pain
[CHORUS]
I cry
For the sons without fathers And the pain that their mothers Hold deep inside
I’ll fight
For the future we’re making
It only changes if we face it
It’s love over pride
I’ll cry... I cry
