Crying:

I saw a woman walk down a hall

To join a another crying woman,

To go hold her daughter and the other

That cried with them

Then walking down the hall

I've seen tear-swept female faces

But then I sat down and

He walked in and his eyes were

Red and puffy too

Not just women cried today

Not just women were at a loss

This song may still end in

Tears

A song, a soft lingering funeral

Dirge as we walk down the

Halls

Had this been a movie, we'd

Have said this was over the top

But you weren't here,

You didn't hear it play in

Every heart that beats within

This school

I don't know if we cry

Because he's gone

I don't know if we cry

Because we miss him

I don't know if we cry

Because we were left behind

I don't know if we cry

Simply because

There's nothing else to do
