Name: A Good Time To Cry
Duration: P00H03M28S
Description: I wrote this a few weeks ago (June, 2020). Things seemed to be falling apart in our beautiful nation, and I was worried that we could lose everything that has been taken for granted for many years. It may be a sad song, but I think there is an air of hope before the tune ends.

lyrics

A Good Time To Cry

What has happened to all our dreams
Have we simply run out of steam, to cope
Will we once again learn to care
Is our future filled with despair, or hope

Just look around it’s a good time to cry

Where is all the love in our hearts
Will we let our world fall apart, again
If we have to face our worst fears
Will we still remember all the best years, and then

Look around it’s a good time to cry

Will we ever know what went wrong
Will we show who was strong
And where’s the key who’s to blame
Oh can’t we see we’re all the same

So look around it’s a good time to cry

Will we ever look back and say
We must never let the past fade away, oh no
If freedom is the life that we seek
The truth is what we all need to speak, and show

So look around it’s a good time to cry
Be unbound and you’ll know how to fly
Make a sound let it out in a sigh
Kiss the ground look up at the blue sky

Reach inside and continue to try
Please confide you can always ask why
Trust your guide think and open your eyes
No don’t hide now’s the right time to cry
