STANDING ON THE SIDE OF THE LAKE
LOOKING INTO THE WATER I SEE
~ME~
I SEE THE TEARS STREAM DOWN MY FACE, I WIPE THEM AWAY AND TURN MY FACE
WORRIED SOMEONE MIGHT CATCH ME CRYING
I PONDER WITH THAT THOUGHT, WHY CAN'T I LET SOMEONE SEE ME CRY?
I CAN'T ANSWER
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY
A REAL MAN IS NOT TO CRY? OR IS IT I CAN'T HANDLE WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE?
OR COULD IT BE SOMETHING EVEN WORSE?
I HAVE CHILDREN A WIFE WHO CARE
WHY CAN'T I JUST SHARE THIS FEELING WITH THEM
WHY DO I JUST LET IT EAT AT ME INSIDE
TO THE POINT I JUST WANT TO "DIE"
AM I ASHAMED OF MY LIFE? A FAILURE AS A HUSBAND
OR BEING A MAN
NOT THE DADDY MY KIDS DESERVE
WHAT IS IT~ I WONDER AND TURN TO GLANCE INTO THE LAKE I SEE ME
UNHAPPY
THE MAN
MEN DON'T CRY
WHY
AGAIN I WIPE MY EYESI SEE I NEED TO GET CONTROL
AND CHANGE THIS MYTH THAT MEN DON'T CRY
BECAUSE I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER INSIDE
NOW THAT I HAVE LET MYSELF CRY
I NEED TO FACE LIFE FOR WHAT IT HANDS ME
AND TO SHARE MY HURT AND UNDERSTANDINGS
TO OPEN UP AND NOT FEAR WHAT OTHERS SAY
TO SHOW MY INNER SOUL, AND TAKE CONTROL OF MY MAN HOOD
TO THANK THE LORD FOR MY
~LIFE~.
TO KNOW IT IS OK TO CRY, I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO HIDE
NEXT TIME I WANT TO CRY
I WILL STAND OUT IN THE OPEN
FOR EVERYONE TO SEE
TODAY IT'S OK FOR MEN TO CRY
LOOK AT ME
