The Strongest Souls
I was watchin' an old town
washed away by the rain
Listenin' to the stories,
feelin' all their pain Folks lost
their homes,
their memories,
their dreams And I found myself
cryin' over at a TV screen
Then I thought about my own
life, the years gone by The
things I've held inside me and
the reasons why
It's okay to cry when your
heart gets torn When you're carryin'
the weight of every battle you've
won There ain't no weakness in
a tear that falls tonight Sometimes
the strongest souls are the ones
that cry
I've stood in a hot kitchen,
the sweat runnin' down my face
Workin' through the evenings,
tryin' to find my place Some
nights I fear the future,
how fast the years fly by
Holdin' on to those feelings only
taught me why
It's okay to cry when your
heart gets torn When you're carryin'
the weight of every battle you've
won There ain't no weakness in
a tear that falls tonight Sometimes
the strongest souls are the ones
that cry
I've loved and I've lost,
I've stumbled and I've stood Made
some wrong turns tryin' to do
what I thought was good And
if tomorrow finds me older than
I feel inside I'll tell the
man in the mirror there's no
shame in the tears tonight
It's
okay to cry,
let the tears fall like rain
They wash away the hurt but
leave behind the strength to face
the pain There ain't no weakness
in a heart that's lived and
tired Sometimes the strongest souls are
the ones that cry
I've loved and I've lost,
I've stumbled and I've stood Made
some wrong turns tryin' to do
what I thought was good And
if tomorrow finds me older than
I feel inside I'll tell the
man in the mirror there's no
shame in the tears tonight
