Don't Cry Songtext
von Mavis Staples

The world is big and often wrong
But truth is bigger, and twice as strong
Sometimes ain′t pretty, sometimes ain't nice
But hold your ground, dry your eyes
Here take my word, take my life
Don′t cry

They'll say they love you when juice is flowing
When money is gone, they must be going
Sometimes they bring
Coming from a friend
But you be ready if it happens again
Here take my word, take my life
Don't cry


Don′t cry when they wanna sell you
Don′t cry when they wanna fight
Don't cry when they don′t believe you
And you know you're right
Don′t cry when they wanna paint you
Into a corner of their design
It's your innocent blood they want
It′s your innocent mind

Don't cry when they wanna sell you
Don't cry when they wanna fight
Don′t cry when they don′t believe you
When you know you're right
Don′t cry when they wanna paint you
Into a corner of their design
It's your innocent blood they want
It′s your innocent, innocent mind

Well, the world is big and often wrong
But your heart is bigger, and twice as strong
Sometimes a mystery, sometimes it's blind
But it won′t deceive you, it doesn't lie
Here take my word, take my life
Don't cry

Here take my word, here take my life
Don′t cry
Here take my word, take my life
Don′t cry
