Together we cry

Together we cry

Jenny was a poor girl, living in a rich world

Named her baby hope when she was just 14

She was hoping for a better word 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

Together we cry

What about the drum player, could have gone the whole way

Lighting up the stage tryna get a deal

Now he's lighting up the wrong way, something 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

And they won't hear tonight, the words of a lullaby

Together we cry [x4]

Mary's ambition, she wants to be a politician

She's been dreaming about it since she was a girl

She thought, that she'd be the one who could change the world

Always tryna pave the way for women in a man's world

But life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hits the jar,

Checks that don't go very far now

Now she ain't making changes, she keeps her mind on her wages

The only rattling cages are her own

Together we cry [x4]

There's so much sad gona flood the ocean

With all the tears from a world that's broken

There comes a time when every bird has to fly

At some point every rose has to die

It's hard to let your children go, leave home, where they go, who knows?

Gettin' drunk, gettin' stoned all alone

Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life

Show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie

Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone to something better

"Bet you're sorry now, I won't be coming home tonight"

I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky

To teach us how to fly

Together we cry, we cry, we cry

Together we cry

There's so much sad gona flood the ocean

With all the tears from a world that's broken
