Crier

(album: The Deliverance - 2015)

[Hannah Johnson:]
We can all lose control, on this winding road
So I wrote you this song to share all that I know

[Verse 1 Sway:]
Welcome to this planet, our innocent baby
Try to understand it, this World is so crazy
I promise to give you, the words that God gave me, now
We share
All over the globe we are killing each other
Religions and riches, as people we suffer
No matter their skin that's your sister and brother, so
Say a prayer
Embrace all our colours
Be patient and honest
Keep faith in your heart
Some believe God's above us
So give if you've got it
Have trust in abundance, now
Always be fair
Don't get caught up in numbers
From tens to the hundreds
A billion's only a billion once
So have sympathy, symphony
Sing me a song when you cry
(Cry if you hear me o)

[Hook Ruth Brown & Choir:]
Crier, crier, crier, crier crier yer yer yer
Cry if you hear me o

Crier, crier, crier, crier crier yer yer yer
Cry if you hear

[Verse 2 Sway:]
Build your foundations on love and not passion
Express your emotions
Explore your own talents
Make plans and take action
No matter what happens, we
All make mistakes
See life's full of lessons
Appreciate blessings
Don't harbour regrets or be scared to ask questions
No need for a gun, use your mind as a weapon now
Ready and aim
Success is not measured in wealth but in presence
And time is a gift
See your health as investment
Spend it like it's precious
Centuries down to seconds, but
You don't have to rush
And beware of the words like greed, envy or jealous
We all have a purpose from sheep up to shepherd
Even as a leader, we're equal in a sense, now
(Cry if you hear me o)

[Hook Ruth Brown & Choir:]
Crier, crier, crier, crier crier yer yer yer
Cry if you hear me o

Crier, crier, crier, crier crier yer yer yer
Cry if you hear me o

[Hook 2 Ruth Brown, Hannah Johnson & Choir:]
We can all lose control, on this winding road

Crier yer yer yer
Cry if you hear me o

So I wrote you this song to share all that I know

Crier yer yer yer
Cry if you hear

[Bridge Sway & Choir:]
Never cry for the money
Never cry for the fame
You should cry for the joy
You should cry for the pain
Let it pour like the rain
Be who ever you'll be
I'm proud that you carry my name
And I pray you'll be better than me

Now
Never cry for the money
Never cry for the fame
You should cry for the joy
You should cry for the pain
Let it pour like the rain
Be who ever you'll be
I'm just proud that you carry my name
And I pray that you're better than me

(Cry if you hear me o)

[Hook Ruth Brown & Choir:]
Cryer, cryer, cryer, cryer cryer yer yer yer
Cry if you hear me o

Cryer, cryer, cryer, cryer cryer yer yer yer
Cry if you hear
