M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

Real Heroes Cry

My dad kept pacing the floor
That whole day
Just waiting 
For my son to arrive

When he finally held him
For the very first time
I could see he 
Was overtaken with pride

He sat and he stared 
For a moment 
Then the emotions
He couldn't subside

They came pouring forth
From the sight of the birth
And a teardrop 
Soon fell from his eyes

Cause Real heroes cry
Though most times they hide
The toughest of men
Will someday realize

The tears that lay dormant 
Can well up inside
It's then that you'll see
That real heroes cry

For me that same day
Seemed so bittersweet
I had just lost my grandpa
2 days prior, that same week

I tried my best
But it was quite the test
To put my sorrow all aside
But I didn't want to have my son
See his own hero cry

Cause real heroes cry
Though most times they hide
The toughest of men
Will someday realize

That with sorrow for those loved
It's not about pride
It's ok to let go 
Cause real heroes cry

You don't have to be super
Your just a man deep inside
It's ok to let go 
Cause real heroes cry
