Don't Cry

The world is big

And often wrong

But truth is bigger

And twice as strong

Some times ain't pretty

Some times ain't nice

But hold your ground

Dry your eyes

Here, take my word

Take my life, don't cry

They'll say they love you when juice is flowin'

When money is gone, they must be goin'

Sometimes they pray, coming from a friend

(Ooh, they)

But you'll be ready

(But you'll be ready)

If it happens again

(If it happens again)

Here, take my word

Take my life, don't cry

(Ooh)

Don't cry when they wanna sell ya

(Cry)

Don't cry when they wanna fight

Don't cry when they won't believe ya

(Don't cry)

And you know you're right

Don't cry when they wanna paint you

Into a corner of their design

(Don't cry)

It's your innocent blood they want

It's your innocent mind

Don't cry when they wanna sell ya

(Cry)

Don't cry when they wanna fight

Don't cry when they don't believe ya

(Don't cry)

When you know you're right

Don't cry when they wanna paint you

Into a corner of their design

(Don't cry)

It's your innocent blood they want

It's your innocent, innocent mind

Well the world is bigger and often wrong

But your heart is bigger and twice as strong

(Ooh, blind)

Sometimes a mystery, sometimes it's blind

But it won't deceive you, it doesn't lie

Here, take my word

Take my life, don't cry

Here, take my word

Here, take my life, don't cry

Here, take my word

Take my life, don't cry
