we cry

together we cry, together we cry, jenny was a poor girl, living in a rich world, named her baby hope when she was just 14, she was hoping for a better world, for this little girl, but the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, when she gets that call, hope's too far gone, her baby's on the way with nothing left inside, together we cry, what about the john play, could have gone the whole way, lighting up the stage tryna get a deal, now he's lighting up the wrong way, something for the pain, man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin' unreal, when he gets that call, he's too far gone, can't get it together to sing one song, and they won't hear tonight, the words of a lullaby, together we cry, together we cry, together we cry, together we cry, mary's ambition, she wanna be a politician, she's been dreaming about it since she was a girl, she thought that she'd be the one who could change the world, always tryna pave the way for women in a man's world, but life happened, house, kids, two cars, husband hits the jar, checks that don't go very far now, now she ain't making changes, she keeps her mind on her wages, the only rattling cages are her own, together we cry, together we cry, together we cry, together we cry, there's so much sad gonna flood the ocean, we're all in tears for a world that's broken, together we cry, there comes a time when every bird has to fly, at some point every rose has to die, it's hard to let your children go, leave home, where they go, who knows?, gettin' drunk, gettin' stoned all alone, teach a man to fish, feed a man for life, show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie, instead of reading in a letter, that they've gone to something better, bet you're sorry now, i won't be coming home tonight, i'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky, to teach us how to fly, together we cry, we cry, we cry, together we cry, together we cry, there's so much sad gonna flood the ocean, with all the tears from a world that's broken, together we cry, together we cry, together we cry, together we cry
