Crying lyrics

To weep, to expose the soul

The real and intense emotion

The wells up and rolls out

Pouring forth down the cheeks

Betraying the pain, or joy

Those who manipulate use it

With crocodile tears seeking

To define attentive sympathy

They too show their souls

That awash can't come clean

A life lived long and arduously

It knows sorrows penetrating

And memory keeps it close

When feelings come to call

That recollect miseries known

A man's tears are uncommon

They are true, springing forth

From the genuine gentle soul

That often inhabits an exterior

Deemed foreboding, unfeeling

The spirit of a child dwells deep

Its reality awakens in sorrow

Solitary or shared, uncontrolled

The true being lies within them

And character is unconcealable

So a part of the ages book of lore

We share the days of those others

That both in joy and in sorrow

There is an intensity of living

That often leaves us all crying
