Don'T Cry
Don’t cry
Not because it doesn’t hurt
I know it violently does
Don’t cry
Not that your heart is of steel
Just don’t bow to defeat
Do not shed a tear;
Not because you are a man
But you’ve got to be strong
Don’t cry
I know life plays favourites
But life isn’t for the weak
Don’t cry
Not that you lack tears
But don’t let them see you drown
Stop crying
When you tremble in fear
That’s when the lion in you roars
Don’t cry
When your faith is shaken
In the messages of pain from the past
Don’t cry
Or maybe you should
Only if you do behind doors.
