lyrics

I remember those days long ago
Crying was a part of the daily flow
There were sticks and stones and bones
and words that we all know
The innocent lives of lucky children ready to grow

And then the girls, they played separate from the boys
The boys, they ran and jumped with rough and tumble joy
But if you cried you soon became the bully's toy
Between your tears and your peers you had to make a choice

So there were ten years
With no tears
There were ten years
With no tears

They say a real man, he knows how to cry
They say that tears release the tension in your life
But trust me it's harder than it seems, do you know why?
Once you kill that part of yourself it doesn't just come back alive

'cause there were ten years
With no tears
There were ten years
With no tears

And what I want you to know
If this sounds like you
That part of you is not dead
He's just afraid of you
So give him the courage
Tell him it's ok
Tell him every day
Until he shows his face

And it might take years
It might take years
But you'll see those tears
I saw those tears
