Tears Like Rain

I gave up a long time ago

Tryin' to make em understand

A little boy who's told he's slow

Can grow into an angry man

I talk to Jesus almost every night

I ain't never heard him say

You might be hurtin' but you got no right

Makin' everybody pay

So go on

Go on and call me crazy

It won't be long

Til everybody knows my name

Go on

But I was somebody's baby

And I cried tears like rain

I hear the whisper of fate's command

I ain't gonna wait no more

I'm writing history in my own hand

And I'm leaving it at your door

I watch your daughters and I watch your sons

Scatter on a summer's day

I'll be the reason that they try to run

But I won't let them get away

So go on

Go on and call me crazy

It won't be long

Til everybody knows my pain

Go on

But I was somebody's baby

And I cried tears like rain
