It’s good to see that I can cry again
Now I return to life and live again
As the teardrops wash the heartaches from a man
I’m glad to say that I can cry again
So long my pride would not let my tears to fall
I walk walk to burning hell and never cry at all
As the teardrops wash the heartaches from a man
I’m glad to say that I can cry again

So long my pride would not let my tears to fall
I walk walk to burning hell and never cry at all
As the teardrops wash the heartaches from a man
It’s good to know that I can cry again
I’m glad to say that I can cry again
