Lyrics
Tears for the poor man who's sleeping in the rain
Tears for the rich man who sold his soul for gain
Tears for the hungry left out in the cold
Tears for the orphan who's wandering all alone
Who taught you to cry?
Who taught you to cry?
Tears for the baby abandoned with no name
Tears for the beaten who smile to hide their shame
Tears for the young girl who's taken from her home
Suffering in silence and forced to give her love.
Who taught you to cry?
Who taught you to cry?
Tears for the stranger in a foreign land
Tears for the exiled and those they leave behind
Tears for the soldier who never will return
Tears for the dying and tears for those who mourn
The fathers, the mothers, the daughters and the sons,
The hurting, the broken and all the lonely ones.
Who taught you to cry?
Who taught you to cry?
