Cried

I cry
O
I've cried

In the instant
I cried for my mama died
I cried
When my daddy died
I cried
When JFK died 
I cried
When Martin Luther died
I cried
When grandpa died
I cried
When My wife died
I cried
souls are lost each and everyday
and on my knees often I'd used to pray
Now I found myself just lazy
shedding tears of where, why's and maybes
I cry
O
I've cried
where's humanity now
I cry
O

I've cried
