Jenny was a poor girl, Living in a rich world Named her baby hope when she was just 14
She was hoping for a better world For this little girl But the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree
When she gets that call, Hope’s too far gone Her baby’s on the way with nothing left inside Together we cry
What about the John play, Could have gone the whole way Lighting up the stage tryna get a deal
Now he’s lighting up the wrong way, Something for the pain Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin’ unreal
When he gets that call, he’s too far gone Can’t get it together to sing one song And they won’t hear tonight The words of a lullaby
Together we cry Together we cry Together we cry Together we cry
Mary’s ambition, She wanna be a politician She’s been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought that she’d be the one who could change the world Always tryna pave the way for women in a man’s world
But life happened, house, kids, two cars, Husband hits the jar, Checks that don’t go very far now
Now she ain’t making changes, She keeps her mind on her wages The only rattling cages are her own
Together we cry Together we cry Together we cry Together we cry
There’s so much sad gonna flood the ocean We’re all in tears for a world that’s broken
Together we cry
There comes a time when every bird has to fly At some point every rose has to die It’s hard to let your children go, leave home, where they go, who knows? Gettin’ drunk, gettin’ stoned all alone
Teach a man to fish, feed a man for life Show your kids the truth, and hope they never lie Instead of reading in a letter That they’ve gone to something better Bet you’re sorry now, I won’t be coming home tonight
I’m sick of looking for those heroes in the sky To teach us how to fly Together we cry, we cry, we cry
Together we cry Together we cry
There’s so much sad gonna flood the ocean With all the tears from a world that’s broken
Together we cry Together we cry Together we cry Together we cry
