Tonight I Cry

Tonight I cry.
For my pain.
For my happiness
And for a past I miss.

I cry for my friends
I cry for the way life breaks them
I cry for their hopes
I cry for their dreams
I cry for the way they fall through the seams.

I cry for the day
I cry in every way.
Tonight I cry for nothing
Because some days it's what I feel
I cry for the night
For the lack of a true reason to fight

I cry for my brothers
For their struggles and plights
To keep their heads high
And that they find their lights

I cry for my hopes
I cry in my dreams
I cry when I'm awake
And I cry even when it feels fake.

Tonight I cry myself to sleep
And pray the darkness my dreams do keep
Tonight I fly
And in my heart I cry.
