Does my discomfort
|
Comfort you
|
Do you believe that joy
|
Is too much to hope for
|
Can you see?
|
Our existence could be so much more
|
Create yours
|
And allI ask is
|
Just a little respect from you
|
Do you even know who I am
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Do you hear my cry
|
Do you believe in me
|
Cuz I believe in you
|
Hear my cry
|
Do you believe in me
|
Cuz I believe in you
|
Hear my cry
|
Do you believe in me
|
Cuz I believe in you
|
Hear my cry
|
Do you believe in me
|
Cuz I believe in you
|
|
You shaped my passion
|
But shame my name
|
Your fear is to listen
|
And to recognize my pain
|
You block my journey
|
You mock my tears
|
Tell me why
|
I spoke for us, for we
|
But now there's just silence
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
For a brighter day
|
I hope to see you again
|
For a brighter day
|
I'm hoping we can still be friends
|
For a brighter day
|
I wish we could fly away
|
Together baby you and I
|
Can't you hear my cry,
|
My cry, my cry
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|

Hear My Cry
