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
