Together we cry

Together we cry

Jenny was a poor girl, living in a rich world

Named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen

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, trying to get a deal

Now he's lighting up the wrong way, something for the pain

Man, you want to see this kid, he was so **** 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

Together we cry

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 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 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, you feed a man 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

There's so much sad, gonna flood the ocean

We're all in tears for a world that's broken

Together we cry

Together we cry, cry

Together we cry, cry

Together we cry, cry
