Good evening, London
Ooh, we're, uh, we're a band called The Script
From Dublin, Ireland
This song is called "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 want to see this kid, he was so fuckin' unreal
When he gets that call, he's too far gone
Can't get it together just to sing one song
They won't hear tonight the words of a lullaby
Together we cry, cry
Together we cry (cry), whoa
Together we cry
Oh, we cry, we cry (cry)
Oh, we cry, we cry (together we cry)
Oh, we cry, we cry (cry)
Oh, we cry, yeah, c'mon
Whoa, Mary's ambition, she wanna be a politician
She's been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought 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) cry
Together we cry (cry), whoa
There's so much sad gonna flood the ocean (together we cry)
We're all in tears for a world that's broken (cry)
Together we cry (cry), whoa, oh
There comes a time that 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?
Getting drunk, getting stoned all alone
Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life (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
Together we cry (cry), whoa, oh, yeah
(Together we) cry, cry
(Together we) cry (cry), whoa, yeah
(Together we cry, cry) for the sons who ain't coming back
For the daughters out on the drags, the drags (together we cry)
Whoa, yeah, whoa, yeah (cry, together we cry)
Oh, we cry, we cry (cry)
Oh, we cry, we cry (together we cry)
Oh, we cry, we cry (cry)
Oh, we cry, yeah (together we cry)
C'mon, put your hands in the air, London (yeah), c'mon, cry
Together we cry, we cry, we cry (cry), whoa, oh
Together we cry
Oh, we cry, we cry (cry)
Oh, we cry, we cry (together we cry)
Oh, we cry, we cry (cry)
Oh, we cry, yeah
