You don't have to cry no more
What happened that day left him changed forever
A day he wished he could erase and never remember
He tried to block out the pain as he got older
But he was consumed with hate now for this neighbor
And everyday he was ashamed when he saw himself
So ashamed that he proclaimed that he would never tell
Blocked out the memory of the pain so he'd never feel
He'd pretend to be ok and hide in his shell
He'd try to put a smile on his face like all was well
But this child couldn't change what he really felt
He blamed God for the cards that he was dealt
His heart grew hard by the time he was twelve
Began to fall apart and his grades start to fail
Until the day he cried to God asking for His help
He wanted to find and start a new life for himself
He closed his eyes and into the arms of Christ he fell
Cry no more
You don't have to cry no more
Don't cry no more
You don't have to cry no more
Everything you heard the boy would never speak
He held it all inside until he utrned fifteen
I know that might be hard for you to believe
