Lyrics
Cry out in sorrow when you feel like you've been broken
Cry out in joy when you're where you want to be
Cry out in passion, just to keep the door open
Let somebody in, set yourself free
Cry out, cry out
Cry out in anger at a world of injustice
Cry out in hope, not for what is, but for what can be
Cry out for freedom when they say, just trust us,
Don't worry, there's nothing in it for me
Cry out, cry out
When you're drowning in a cold sweat of doubt and fear
Lost in a sea of faces, but no one's near
Love is something you can only feel and see
When fear no longer nails your soul to an unforgiving tree
Cry out, cry out
Not for what is, but for what can be
Cry out
