Cries

Ó 1992  Anthony Congiano

A thirsting baby cries, no milk for it's lips

An aged women cries, she's broken both her hips

A former virgin cries, her reputation shot

A lonely leper cries, for the curse that he's got

Two brothers cry, both their parents dead

A fallen solder cries, a bullet through his head

A crippled swimmer cries, an empty pool he dived

A buried man he cries, he's buried quite alive

A sadden starlet cries, she's lost all her fans

A bewildered artist cries, he's offed both his hands

A lonely friend cries, he has no friends no more

An old madam cries, because she is a whore

Our own tears did cry, but somehow seem so small

See the world cry, it cries for us all
