Story Behind The Song

I suppose on some level, this is a song to myself...

Song Description

An upbeat song inviting someone who is holding back sadness to let their tears flow

Lyrics

Cry, Cry, Cry

you were so very young
when you learned to be so strong
all those tears that little children cry
they never made it to your eyes

and now you?ve grown so straight and tall
an inspiration to us all
but when there?s no one else around
I know your demons take you down?

so cry, cry, cry
you?ve held it back so long
say it: why, why, why?
there is no need now to be strong
just let it go
I?ll do the holding on?

you learned so early on
to face this life alone
and now you work so hard each day
to keep that loneliness at bay

but I can see it in your eyes
those frozen tears you never cried
and when the ice starts melting through
I will be here for you
I said I?ll be here for you?

so cry, cry, cry
you?ve held it back so long
say it: why, why, why?
there is no need now to be strong
just let it go
I?ll do the holding on?
just let it go
I?ll do the holding on
I?ll do the holding on
I?ll do the holding on
I?ll do the holding on?
