I cry for the lost, the ignorant and the blind
I cry for memories forgotten in time
I cry for you and I and how soon we'll die
I cry for those prone to hatred and doomed to lie
I cry for mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
I cry for war, genocide, guns and slaughters
I cry for peace, happiness, smiles and hugs
I cry for fields of fun and miles of love
I cry for God's motivation to create this planet
I cry for the emotions we take for granted
I cry for the mysteries of history and truth untold
I cry for the elders of tomorrow and the youth of old
I cry for the magnificent past, the world's seven wonders
I cry for the promise of the future and all of Heaven's wonders
I cry for the chance so many don't have
I cry for those who refuse to cry and won't laugh
I cry at night during silent confessions
I cry to express serenity or release feelings of violent agression
Mainly I cry to gain real control
If I cry and I cry I might be able to heal my soul
