Cry Lyrics

Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody's missing a friend,hold on
Somebody's lacking a hero
And they have not a clue when it's all gonna end

Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth,hold on
When will this mystery unfold
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind mans eyes when he cries

Chorus
You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

People laugh when they're feeling sad
Someone is taking a life,hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you
When your children cried last night

Faces filled with madness
Miracles unheard of (Hold on)
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do is reach for the truth, the truth

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

And when that flag blows there'll be no more wars
And when all calls I will answer all your prayers (Prayers)
Change the world…

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

Cover art for Cry lyrics by Michael Jackson

The song is written in the key of A Major until the climatic key change half way through the song. The song is a melodic, soft, R&B track which is uplifiting. After the middle breakdown of the song, a key change takes place and the sounds of a gospel choir kick in for the rest of the song. The song 'Cry' talks about all the problems in the world like previous singles "Man In The Mirror" and "Heal The World." It discusses the issues and subjects of war, loneliness, lying, changing the world, depression, suicide, miracles, and faith. It also suggests if everyone pulls together as one, then we can all make a change to the world.
