Cry, cry, cry
One set of footprints in ah di sand
And yuh ah grumble and ah screw you think it should ah be two
'Member one thing mi youth a Father God have the plan
So when you see one set of footprints ah God ah carry you
"Hurry up and come back"
Was the last thing she said to her son
The day his life was taken
She didn't know he wouldn't come back
He died from the bullet of a gun
And now her little boy is gone
She said "Help me, Lord help me"
And she looked up to the sky
And she heard a voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
Another baby left homeless
Abandoned when he was two
So the street side kids at the shopping mall was the family he knew
It's not easy being homeless
Sometimes you have to do, what you have to do
And he didn't have a mom or dad to help him get through
He said "Help me, Father help me"
And he looked up to the sky
And he heard a voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry (Based on a true story)
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile (Keep yuh head up)
I smile along with you
It was early Sunday morning, me get up ah watch the news
Den me hear say last night a sea view dem kill ah youth
Den, mamma tell me say her church sister Jacqueline
Just lose her brother over sea view garden
When she tell me, jah jah know it, mash me up, nuh tell me lie
But yuh know say man a thuggist so yuh nuh go see me cry
Everyday and every night she still ah ask the father why
Her brother had to die
She heard ah voice reply
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
When you cry, I cry
I cry along with you
When you smile, I smile
I smile along with you
