Lyrics

We Cry

Maybe in time...forgiveness
Maybe on another day
We'll understand, and put the sword away

Beneath this ground we stand on
I lay him down to rest
While this heart of mine still beats within my chest

And we cry....cry....
we cry...and say goodbye

Instrumental

Maybe one day we'll see it
We'll use the common thread
to close the wounds and learn to love instead

'Til then we cry....cry...
cry...and say goodbye...
we cry....
