A Cry for Everyone lyrics
by Gentle Giant
[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
Run, why should I run away?
When at the end the only truth certain one day
Everyone dies, if only to justify life
[Verse 2: Derek Shulman]
Life, I've lived a thousand lives
And anyone is the right, is the just life
If I could cry, I'd cry for everyone
[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
Doubt, no doubt is all I know
There is no fate, there's no luck, what does that show?
Showing is proof, but proving is nothing but fear
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
If I could cry, I'd cry then for everyone
[Instrumental Break 2:02–3:15]
[Verse 4: Derek Shulman]
Shame, I've hoped two thousand years
But no one knows, so I've cried, crying vain tears
Always too late, too late to cry, cry for everyone
