When A Man Cries

	When a child cries the tears rise quickly
	Spill hot and prickly down the reddened cheeks
	Just to leave as quickly as they came
	And peace returns again
	When a child cries you know about it
	They scream and shout until the hurt is gone
	Like a shower of rain that for a moment
	Hides away the sun
	But when a man cries it’s choked and throttled
	It’s all been bottled up for far too long
	And when at last the pressure cooker blows
	It’s hard to stem the flow
	When a man cries his body shakes
	And his eyeballs ache
	And his mind vibrates
	But he doesn’t make a sound
	Don’t wanna wake the house now
	Well the reasons are vague and hard to put in words
	Just a dull abstract ache, don’t wanna worry her
	She would only ask what’s wrong and I’d try to say
	Then she’d take all my pain and explain it away
	But who can explain why a man cries
	When a man cries he cries alone
	And for just a moment he’s back at home
	Cradled in his mother’s arms
	Free from guilt and safe from harm

	When a child cries the tears rise quickly
	Spill hot and prickly down the reddened cheeks
	Just to leave as quickly as they came
	And peace returns again
	When a child cries you know about it
	They scream and shout until the hurt is gone
	Like a shower of rain that for a moment
	Hides away the sun
	But when a man cries it' s choked and throttled
	It' s all been bottled up for far too long
	And when at last the pressure cooker blows
	It' s hard to stem the flow
	When a man cries his body shakes
	And his eyeballs ache
	And his mind vibrates
	But he doesn' t make a sound
	Don' t wanna wake the house now
	Well the reasons are vague and hard to put in words
	Just a dull abstract ache, don' t wanna worry her
	She would only ask what' s wrong and I' d try to say
	Then she' d take all my pain and explain it away
	But who can explain why a man cries
	When a man cries he cries alone
	And for just a moment he' s back at home
	Cradled in his mother' s arms
	Free from guilt and safe from harm
