A song written for a friend going through a hard time with their family of origin.
lyrics
NO TIME TO CRY
An eye for an eye is what they say
But you can’t keep carrying on that way
And you know in your heart that when you die
It leaves you no more time to cry
When you take it on the chin and you let it go
You give away your heart and soul
Then you make it all better and you wonder why
And it leaves you no more time to cry
CHORUS
No time to cry
No time to cry
After all these years of breakin’ it down
You get tired of wearing a thorny crown
You’ve gotta get away from the darkened sky
And it leaves you no more time to cry
CHORUS
No time to cry
No time to cry
