Sit back, think again, for all who suffer pain
Sometimes, it's a strain, and life is no game
A test, for your love, to see if you can work it out
We, have all the answers, what is the crying all about?

We can cross the ocean waves, fly super-sonic in the air
We can talk across the nations, to people living everywhere
We can build space-stations, observe the universe out there
Hold stimulating conversations, but can we ever learn to care?

Tears for the children, for all the people down and out
Tears for the system, is this the crying all about?
The crying all about?

Can you hear, won't you lend an ear?
Would you like to do away with fear?
Can be done, will be done, you'll see!
Would you like to see a better world?
Would you like to see your dreams unfold?
Would you like just to be free?

What do we know? Our lives are in your hands?
What do we have to show, for the trust we put in you?
And will it ever change, and could it ever be so good?
To satisfy everybody, and do it like we should?

Tears for the children, for all the people down and out
Tears for Mother Nature, is this the crying all about?
The crying all about?
