We Cry

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 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 Together we cry What about the John play? 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 fucking 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 (yeah, yeah) Together we cry (whoa) Together we cry Oh, we cry, we cry Oh, we cry, we cry (together we cry) Oh, Mary's ambition, she wanna be a politician She's been dreaming about it since she was a girl She thought 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, two 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 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 they go, who knows? Getting drunk, getting stoned all alone Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life (for life) You 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 (cry) Together we cry (whoa, 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, oh, yeah) Together we cry Together we cry (yeah, yeah) Together we cry Together we cry
