Cry

Cry my friend

Cry

Don't let your tears be held by your fear

Cry

Cry my friend

Let those tears express what can’t be said

Let them express what is within

Cry

Cry my dear

Cry for your pain

Cry for your joy

Cry to celebrate you are alive

Cry for the recognition of your life

Cry for the awareness that you are 

Cry

Cry because you don't know 

how else to communicate 

What you see

What you feel

What hurts

Cry to say

I can't hold on anymore

Cry to say 

I don't know what to do

and I am afraid

Cry to say

I love you

and I don't want you go away

Cry my dear

Cry

Cry to say

Please love me

Cry to say

I want to be loved

And cry even more

Cry my friend

Cry my dear

Cry

Let the tears pour out of you

Let the release set you free

Let the tears speak 

what you've been afraid to reveal 

Cry to let yourself know

what was under

Cry

Cry

And cry even more

Cry for the sick

Cry for the death of your loved ones

And for those who are alive 

Cry for those who fail

For those who can't go on 

And for those who succeed 

Cry

Cry

And know 

that when the tears are done and gone

You will be raw and with yourself

Knowing what you didn't know before

And with this new understanding

With this new compassion

With this new feeling

Embrace those who can't cry

Dance

Or love

Bring them into you

Into your arms

And let them cry with you

just as you did

Let them say

what they are afraid to say

Let them open up

Let them release 

For them to be  free

For them to embrace

Those yet to come

Those yet unleash
