I Cry

Uhm, uuhm, uhuhm; I Cry Uhm, uuhm, uhuhm; I Cry I saw a man lying on the Street I could not figure it out why People walked pass without seeing That the man was about to die When I called for help, no one came Because they did not want to get involved The problem seemed that no one believed The situation can be solved and I cry - baby, I cry I cry - baby, I cry When you try to do for your child Whatever you can do The problem is you cannot Because you know The kids are not smiling to you Now, we bring our kids up here Because we know that, they need education They come home and telling us there are no schools Because people do not want integration I cry - baby, I cry I cry - baby, I cry We read the news everyday You do not think that happens to you But nobody reads about the blues That heals the things that we go through We did not ask to be on the Welfare We did not ask to be on the streets Our babies did not ask us to come here But here got to we - Now, I cry; I cannot help but cry I cry; I cry Every morning I cry - why do not you see what is going on - you all? I cry, no - no; I cannot help but cry Why do not you listen what I am saying this evening? Why do not you get yourself together? I cry, no - no; I cry
