Cryin' Out

Tired of all the running,
Can't sit back and do nothing;
Tired of the world that we live in,
Trying hard just to make a living;
Left home when I was fourteen,
Now my life is just obscene;
My mama never really cared,
Dad, he just wasn't there;
I turned to sex and drugs,
Started hanging with the thugs;
We were always out for blood,
Taking people out with a thud;
Always screaming and shouting,
Running and fighting,
That's the world I live in;
Always sleeping with one eye open,
Never knowing when you're gonna cash in.

(Chorus)
I'm crying out to someone,
I'm crying out for help;
Please just send me someone,
To be a light here in the darkness;
Just come and save me from this,
From this life.


Living my whole life on the run,
There was never any time for fun;
I never really had much of a childhood,
Learned most of my living in the “hood”;
No one to teach me right from wrong,
Not sure what's going on;
Never had this feeling,
Something inside me is reeling;
I know I'm missing something,
There's gotta be something more for me;
Something better than this life,
Better than all the chaos and strife.

(Chorus)
I'm crying out for someone,
I'm crying out for peace;
Please just send me someone,
To be a light here in the darkness;
Please just save me from this,
From this strife.


Feeling a presence, with me,
But it's like something I can't see;
I know there's someone out there,
Someone who might care;
(Looks to sky)
If there's someone up there,
(Yells)
Show me something!
