Baby On A Plane Lyrics
Cry for me, baby, cry for us all
Cry it away, all night long
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
Cry for me, cry
Cry for me, angel, cry for us all
Do it for me, 'cause we gotta be strong
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
Cry for me, cry
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
Cry for me, cry
[Interlude: Chloe]
Cry, cry
[Chorus: Chloe, Chloe & Halle]
Cry for me, baby, cry for us all
Cry it away, all night long
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
[Post-Chorus: Chloe & Halle, Chloe]
Cry for me, cry for me
Cry for me, cry for me
Cry for me, cry for me
Cry for me (Cry and you cry)
Cry for me, cry for me (Cry and you cry)
Cry for me, cry for me (Cry and you cry)
Cry for me, cry for me (Cry for me)
Cry for me
Baby, baby, I've been numb too long (Long)
Your cries, they hypnotize, they lead me home
(Oh, they lead me home)
So take the pain and scream out for us all
'Cause baby, baby, I've been numb too long
(So, baby, just cry)
[Chorus: Chloe & Halle, Halle]
Cry for me, baby, cry for us all
Cry it away, all night long (Cry for me)
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
Cry for me, cry
Cry for me, angel, cry for us all
Do it for me, 'cause we gotta be strong (Gotta be strong)
Cry for me, cry, cry for me (Oh, woah, oh)
Cry for me, cry, cry for me
[Outro: Chloe]
Cry, cry
About
This song is a general lamentation for the adults (young and old) of the world. They ask for the baby on a plane to continue crying, as they and ultimately all other adults are expected to hide their emotions or become numb to them, making their tears socially unacceptable. As one of the final songs on the album, it serves as something of a thesis statement regarding youth empowerment and a dissatisfaction with the status quo. This song explains how the youth continues to raise their voices in protest of things like racism, sexism & gun violence, etc. We were numb but now, we are crying out. The baby’s cries on the plane are uncomfortable and awkward but the baby has to cry and everyone definitely hears, because they have nowhere else to go.
