As crazy as it seems
Its all right to close your eyes
And dream a hopeful dream
I believe that we can find a reason for a change
I saw mine within my daughters eyes
I cried when i saw the children in the school yard
I cried for the mother who just wants to feed her son
I cried when i heard the old folks laugh and sing a song
I still cry in movies
Yes i do
The things we take away
Pride and self-respect and dignity
Have gone astray
Take what you can get is what we teach them everyday
I believe that theres a better way
I cried when i saw the father teach his son to pray
I cried when the victims heard that help was on the way
I cried when the little white girl held the black kids hand
And i still cry at movies
I still cry for the good guys
I still cry when Jesus saves a righteous soul
Takes a heart of gold and puts it back into our eyes
I still cry in movies
Little do they know
That all the things that we will teach them
They don't need to know
When it comes to lovin never have the time to spare
No one ever said that love was fair
I cried when i saw the children in the schoolyard
I cried for the mother who just wants to feed her son
I cried when i heard the old folks laugh and sing a song
And i still cry in movies
Ooh i cry when i saw the father teacher his son to pray
I cried when the victims heard that help was on the way
I cried when the little white girl held the black kids hand
And i still cry in movies
Yes i do
I cried
I cried
I cried when the little white girl held the black kids hand
And i still cry in movies
Yes i do
