Lyrics

CRY EVERY MORNING

VERSE:
He leaves for school each morning a smile on his face
When he comes home she always asks him the very same thing
How was your day son is everything all right
And he says mom everything is fine
But inside he holds a secret too painful to explain
So while he is saying fine in his mind he is answering

CHORUS:
If I cry every morning before I go
I know I?ll be okay ?til I get home
That?s how I make it, how I make it through each day
I cry every morning to take the pain away

VERSE:
Another day in fifth grade and the teachers far away
He?s a target for the bullies and the mean games they all play
In a hallway or out behind the school
How much more will they put him through
The other children they all know but some things can never be told
He won?t tell but to himself he says I?ll do the only thing I know

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
She came into his room that morning a bit earlier than most
And found him underneath his covers sobbing out of control
It was then that he finally told her he said things aren?t always fine
But mom I didn?t want to upset you I?m just trying to survive

CHORUS:
See if I cry every morning before I go
I know I?ll be okay ?til I get home
That?s how I make it, how I make it through each day
I cry every morning to take the pain away

He leaves for school each morning a smile on his face
