The boy stepped out of his house on to the sidewalk Looked down the street on his block and then he just stopped And tied the shoes on his feet and then he just walked It was the middle of the week outside was real hot He told his dad where he would be now and what not Said he would go down by the trees near the bus stop The clock read quarter to three and he just thought I'll sneak around and play hide and seek in the back lot And on his way to the spot a man from upstairs Told him to stop and come here and he just stared At this little boy of seven years with brown hair And as he came near the man whispered in his ear What he said left him numb frozen with fear He wanted to run but his feet wouldn't go anywhere He wanted to scream but couldn't he was glued there He wanted to leave but he wouldn't he was too scared Chorus Cry no more You don't have to cry not more Don't cry no more You don't have to cry no more What happened that day left him changed forever A day he wished he could erase and never remember He tried to block out the pain as he got older SongtexteBut he was consumed with hate now for this neighbor And every day he was ashamed when he saw himself So ashamed that he proclaimed that he would never tell Blocked out the memory of the pain so he'd never feel He'd pretend to be ok and hide in his shell He'd try to put a smile on his face like all was well But this child couldn't change what he really felt He blamed God for the cards that he was dealt His heart grew hard by the time he was twelve Began to fall apart and his grades start to fail Until the day he cried to God asking for His help He wanted to find and start a new life for himself He closed his eyes and into the arms of Christ he fell Chorus Everything you heard the boy would never speak He held it all inside until he turned fifteen I know that might be hard for you to believe But he couldn't talk about it until God set me free See way back when he as seven years old He was sexually abused but no one was ever told With nowhere to turn and no place to go See he thought he could get through and maintain control But little did he know he couldn't make it on his own But that was just the time when You came through to show How much You loved him and You wanted him to know That You would never leave and You would never go And You taught him to forgive and gave peace to his soul And now he truly lives cause You made him whole From that day ever since he ain't never been alone That's why he's convinced he don't have to cry no more Chorus Aus Songtexte Mania
