Cry Out
Ashes Remain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You won’t come out this time.
You weren't the kind to run and hide.
What made you decide?
Stricken by the dark of night,
Don’t believe the lies.
Just push aside the raging tide,
And if you'll speak this time, I don't know.
But He can see inside, I just hope.
And if you'll speak this time, I don't know.
But He can see inside, I just hope.
That you will...
Lost inside, of your own mind.
You got out just in time.
Not the kind, to run and hide.
There's reason to the rhyme.
And if you'll speak this time, I don't know.
But He can see inside, I just hope.
And if you'll speak this time, I don't know.
But He can see inside, I just hope.
That you will...
Oh, just cry out
I am
I am
I am
Oh, just cry out
I am
I am
I am
Oh, just cry out
