The Right to Weep Lyrics

When I was a child

I was told

Don't let tears fall from your eyes

When I become an adult

I'd stand in front of the mirror

Saying I won't regret

Not even once

In life's confined

We endlessly stray

On the line of being

We're here to sway

Masked through the nights

In weary days

We cry in silence

Our strength fades away

Tears forgotten

When the heart's in strife

Regret's a shadow

Yet we struggle in life

Pressure's tight grip

It wears us thin

Breath becomes a task

A heavy din

Defenses down

We slowly concede

Regrets and tears

We let them proceed

It's not a crime

To let it all go

In strength

We find a place for woe

For even the strong

The right to tire

Behind the smile

A broken heart's dire

Why bear the weight

When we can share

The cleansing rain

The tears we wear

It's not a crime

To let it all out

To taste the tears

In life's route

Cry's a right

A chance to seize

To weep and find peace

In our release
