Ain't Gonna Cry

(album: Venom & Faith - 2018)

I ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry
Mmmm...

What is my mission?
Why am I swimmin'?
In the dirty water
Of a bad decision
Forty days and nights
I've been losing' my mind
Cause I don't know what's wrong
Or how to make it right

I ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry
I don't know how to pray
I sing hallelujah anyway
I ain't gonna cry
Mmmm...

Not a child
But yet I am not free
Stuck in the miles of
Somewhere in-between
Coming of age in this day and age
Is a long hard fight
You gotta sacrifice
You gotta bleed

I ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry
When the choir's gone away
I sing hallelujah anyway
I ain't gonna cry
Mmmm...

All of these feelings
I've been suppressing
Gotta get 'em off my chest
I'm a little unhinged
I guess
Is it factual?
Or is it all in my head?
Now I'm unemployed
Can't avoid the void, feeling paranoid

I ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry
When my soul has gone astray
I sing hallelujah anyway

My eyes
Staying dry
My eyes
Staying dry
Gonna find it
See the light
Got a wall I'm building
Got a chance, God willing
To hang on to my pride

I ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry
I don't know how to pray
I say hallelujah anyway
I ain't gonna cry
I ain't gonna cry
I don't know how to pray
I say hallelujah anyway
