Song Lyrics
he wanted to run but his feet wouldn t go anywhere
Began to fall apart and his grades start to fail, but he couldn t talk about it until god set me free
you don t have to cry no more
He was sexually abused but no one was ever told, the boy stepped out his house on to the sidewalk, what he said left him numb frozen with fear
A day he wished he could erase and never remember, began to fall apart and his grades start to fail
blocked out the memory of the pain so he d never feel
Looked down the street on his block and then he just stopped, that you would never leave and you would never go and you taught him to forgive and gave peace to his soul
So ashamed that he proclaimed that he would never tell, but he was consumed with hate now for this neighbor, at this little boy of seven years with brown hair
And everyday he was ashamed when he saw himself, don t cry no more Cry, the boy stepped out his house on to the sidewalk
But this child couldn t change what he really felt, began to fall apart and his grades start to fail, and tied the shoes on his feet and then he just walked
He closed his eyes and into the arms of christ he fell, and everyday he was ashamed when he saw himself No, what he said left him numb frozen with fear
And as he came near the man whispered in his ear, but he was consumed with hate now for this neighbor, said he would go down by trees near the bus stop
It was the middle of the week outside was real hot, but he couldn t talk about it until god set me free
The clock read quarter to three and he just thought i ll sneak around and play, his heart grew hard by the time he was twelve
The boy stepped out his house on to the sidewalk, that s why he d convinced he don t have to cry no more, he closed his eyes and into the arms of christ he fell
At this little boy of seven years with brown hair, you don t have to cry no more, he tried to block out the pain as he got older
you don t have to cry no more
He closed his eyes and into the arms of christ he fell, he wanted to leave but he wouldn t he was too scared Cry, he wanted to find and start a new life for himself
You don t have to cry no more, but that was just the time when you came through to show, his heart grew hard by the time he was twelve
But that was just the time when you came through to show, what he said left him numb frozen with fear
how much you loved him and you wanted him to know
That you would never leave and you would never go and you taught him to forgive and gave peace to his soul, you don t have to cry no more
Don t cry no more, don t cry no more, that s why he d convinced he don t have to cry no more
Everything you heard the boy would never speak, told him to stop and come here and he just stared
But this child couldn t change what he really felt, and everyday he was ashamed when he saw himself, he tried to block out the pain as he got older
That you would never leave and you would never go and you taught him to forgive and gave peace to his soul, a day he wished he could erase and never remember
With nowhere to turn and no place to go see he thought he could get through and maintain control, don t cry no more, that s why he d convinced he don t have to cry no more
Said he would go down by trees near the bus stop, he tried to block out the pain as he got older
and tied the shoes on his feet and then he just walked
he d pretend to be okay and hide in his shell
You don t have to cry no more, don t cry no more Cry, and on his way to the spot a man from upstairs
