lyrics

Cry People Cry

GREGORY: THE LORD DONE MADE ALL HIS CHILDREN CRY
CRY, CHILDREN, CRY
JUST PACKED UP ALL HIS KINDNESS AND THEN WAVED GOODBYE
BYE, PEOPLE, BYE
WENT ON BACK TO HEAVEN WHERE THE EATING’S GOOD
AND LEFT HIS CHILDREN FIGHTIN’ FOR A BIT OF FOOD.

CRY, PEOPLE, CRY, CHILDREN, CRY
CRY, PEOPLE, CRY, CHILDREN, CRY

THE LORD DONE MADE ALL HIS PEOPLE CRY
CRY, PEOPLE, CRY
GOT HIMSELF SELECTED JUST BY TELLING LIES
LIES, CHILDREN, LIES
YOU SEE HIS SMILING PICTURE EVERYWHERE YOU GO
BUT HE’LL NEVER TELL HIS PEOPLE
‘BOUT THE THINGS THEY NEED TO KNOW.

CRY, PEOPLE, CRY, CHILDREN, CRY
CRY, PEOPLE, CRY, CHILDREN, CRY

PAUL: SO LUCKY FOR YOU
AND SO FORTUNATE FOR ME
THAT THE LORD’S A BETTER SAVIOR
THAN YOU AND I COULD EVER BE.

CRY, PEOPLE, CRY, CHILDREN, CRY
CRY, PEOPLE, CRY, CHILDREN, CRY
CRY, PEOPLE, CRY,
JESUS, CRY!
