Song II (Feb 2002)

Cry
Kenneth Koh

Stumbling as you walk
With every step you take (always one step late)
Journey’s like a marathon, you try
But you still fall on your face

Is pride your only passion?
And loneliness your friend (why don’t you reach out your hand)
Don’t you know the deed has been done, it’s no longer
you to make amends (somebody understands)

Feeling, not knowing, the longing you fear
Embracing, this heart ache no more, I am here

CHORUS:
And I cry, I cry for you
(somebody wipe the tear from my eye, wipe the tears this time I try)
And I cry, I cry for you
(take a look at me now, and you’d know, everything’s gonna be alright)
You’re reeling from all that’s real
(Please help me) denying the voice you feel… you try
but you can’t escape the tears from my eye.
(do you long to fly?)

Is this the price for your fame? In the corner,
You turn off the phone (and you feel so alone)
So how have you gained, when you find that this pain
Was not meant to be your own
(and this is how it goes, this is how it goes)

Bridge Rap:
There you are standing on the microphone
You’re shouting out loud, but you feel all alone
Is there someone around that you could talk to
Hawk to, understand you and to let you be you
A dead man walking, don’t speak a sound
Let me tell you how it is; how it’s going down.
Open your eyes and see the tears too
Understand why he got the tears for you.
