We Cry

Together we cry
Together we cry

Jenny was a poor girl, livin' in a rich world
Named her baby Hope when she was just 14
She was hopin' for a better world for this little girl
But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree

When she gets that call, Hope's too far gone
Her baby's on the way with nothing left inside

But together we cry (together we cry)

What about the John play, could have gone the whole way
Lightin' up the stage tryna get a deal
Now he's lighting up the wrong way
Somethin' for the pain
Man, you wanna see this kid, he was so fuckin' unreal

When he gets that call, he's too far gone
Can't get it together to sing one song
They won't hear tonight the words of a lullaby

Together we cry (we cry), yeah, yeah
Together we cry (we cry)
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Together we cry
Oh, we cry, we cry, oh, we cry, we cry
Together we cry

Oh, Mary's ambition, she wanna to be a politician
She's been dreamin' about it since she was a girl
She thought that she'd be the one who could change the world
Always trying to pave the way for women in a man's world

But life happened, house, kids, two cars
Husband hits the jar
Checks that don't go very far now
Now she ain't makin' changes
She keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattlin' cages are her own

Together we cry
Together we cry
There's so much sad, gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for a world that's broken
Together we cry
Oh, we cry, we cry, oh, we cry

There comes a time that every bird has to fly
At some point, every rose has to die
It's hard to let your children go leave home
Where'd they go? Who knows?
Gettin' drunk, gettin' stoned, all alone

Teach a man to fish and feed a man for life (for life)
You show your kids the truth and hope they never lie
Instead of readin' in a letter that they've gone to somethin' better
Bet you're sorry now, I won't be comin' this home tonight

I'm sick of lookin' for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry, together we cry

Together we cry, cry
Together we cry, whoa-oh-oh, oh, yeah
There's so much sad, gonna flood the ocean
We're all in tears for a world that's broken
Together we cry (cry)

Together we cry, cry
Together we cry, cry (yeah, yeah)
Together we cry
