lyrics

VERSE
Mama cries I seldom wonder why
Funny how regrets you have just never seem to die
Daddy screams when woken from a dream
Funny how what once you loved would never leave you be

CHORUS
Oh my Lord I’ll never learn to cry
A sadder song could never pry the tears out of my ears
Oh my Lord I’ll never learn to love
You walk so far to live so low
You never rise above

VERSE
Sister prays for a savior to arrive
To take her to a place where no one fights and no one lies
Brother runs to an angel in the clouds
He swears he felt the breath of love and cried with a sound

CHORUS
