Why They Cry Lyrics

After the war, he was home at last and then he cried

She just got the news she was cancer free but then she cried

I never knew much about anything but I know eyes don't lie

I thought they would have been so happy but this I just didn't understand

So I asked why they cry

After the sorrow, I asked them why they cry

They said tomorrow may never come

So they are thankful for today

Holding the award, he thanked God first and then he cried

Someone gave her a blanket and food but then she cried

I never knew what makes the world go round but I know eyes don't lie

I know nothing comes from nothing but this I just didn't understand

So I asked why they cry

After the sorrow, I asked them why they cry

They said tomorrow may never come

So they are thankful for today

I can see it's a miracle that you and I are here

I can see if we're thankful, we'll finally understand why they cry

So I asked why they cry

After the sorrow, I asked them why they cry

They said tomorrow may never come

So they are thankful for today
