It’s Alright to Cry

Hey!

He was sitting outside of the bar and grill
Inside his wife was sitting there drinkin' her fill
They got three kids sitting at the house alone
While the daddy's out trying to save his house and home

Feeling abused, says he's getting used
To life dealing him a dirty hand
Maybe what he needs is not someone to preach
But someone who can understand

It's alright to cry
It's alright
It's alright to cry sometimes
When crying's all you can do

She was sitting with her friend in the waiting room
Down at the clinic where that awful work is donе
Well, the boyfriend lеft, he had nothing to say
Now the friend is saying she sees no other way

Trying desperately just to make her see
There's a way to face what's in store
But it breaks her heart, she falls apart
She's walking through the doctor's door

It's alright to cry
It's alright
It's alright to cry sometimes
When crying's all you can do
When crying's all you can do

'Cause life's a desperate affair
And in our haste to show we care
We forget how to be real
How to bleed and how to feel
We don't have all the answers
We just know Somebody who does, ow!

Hey!

I was having my dinner with the TV on
When up came the pictures of the starving Africans
Well, the children are dying, what a pitiful sight
And suddenly you know I lost my appetite

Tears came to my eyes, I realized
Something had touched me to my soul
But the feeling changed, it went away
I changed it by remote control

It's alright to cry
It's alright
It's alright to cry
It's alright
But that ain't all you can do

It's alright, it's alright
Oh, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright
But that ain't all you can do
That ain't all you can do

It's alright to cry sometimes
It's alright, it's alright to cry
But that ain't all you can do
(It's alright)
You gotta take a little walk
Take a little walk
Down to the bar and grill
(It's alright)
See what you can do
