[Intro]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Together we cry
Together we cry

[Verse 1]
Jenny was a poor girl, living in a rich world
Named her baby "Hope" when she was just fourteen
She was hoping for a better world for this little girl
But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree

[Pre-Chorus]
When she gets that call, Hope's too far gone
Her baby's on the way with nothing left inside

[Chorus]
Together we cry

[Verse 2]
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 fucking unreal

[Pre-Chorus]
When he gets that call, he's too far gone
Can't get it together to sing one song
They won't hear tonight the words of a lullaby

[Chorus]
Together we cry (Yeah, yeah)
Together we cry
Ooh, together we cry (Oh, we cry, we cry, oh, we cry, we cry)
Together we cry

[Verse 3]
Oh, Mary's ambition, she wanna be a politician
She's been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought 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

[Chorus]
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 (Oh, we cry, we cry, oh, we cry)

[Bridge]
There comes a time where every bird has to fly
At some point, every rose has to die
It's hard to let your children go leave home
Where'd they go? Who knows
Getting drunk, getting stoned all alone
Teach a man to fish and feed a man for life
Show your kids the truth, hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone for 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

[Chorus]
Together we cry (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
Oh, yeah

[Outro]
Together we cry (Cry)
Together we cry (Cry)
Together we cry
