First, I Cry by David Kuenzli
First, I Cry
by David Kuenzli
Sometimes life gives me more than I think I can handle.
That’s when I ask myself, “What do I do now?”
What helps me make it through is the love I feel from you,
a love that holds me close and reminds me of what’s true.
But first, I cry. I can let those feelings flow.
I don’t have to hold back the pain that’s in my soul.
Some days I don’t feel strong.
The nights, they seem so long.
I know that life goes on,
But first, I cry.
Sometimes I wonder why my life’s not how I planned it.
At times I doubt if I have the strength to go on.
What helps me make it through is the power I feel from you.
Thanks for being here inside to remind me of what’s true.
But first, I cry. I can let those feelings flow.
I don’t have to hold back the pain that’s in my soul.
Some days I don’t feel strong.
The nights, they seem so long.
I know that life goes on,
But first I cry.
I know winter turns to spring.
Maybe then my heart will sing.
But first, but first I cry.
