Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If this song
Make you cry
Look me in my eyes
You'll see I tell no lies
Why you think I try I try
To make everything alright
To feel like you got no one on your side
But do you know what it's like
When your closest friends
Start choosing sides
Had to put my pride aside
Cus I learned it can save a life
When I think back to that night
Wondering why didn't I reply
Wishing you was with me now
But I know you're looking down
Wishing you was with me now
But I know you're looking down
I apologize
If this song
Make you cry
Look me in my eyes
You'll see I tell no lies
Why you think I try I try
To make everything alright
To make everything alright
To make everything alright
Yeah

One of my favorite cj lewis music as a kid in the 1990s. Man, the 1990s was fire.
@Husvagnen18
I wonder what he's up to these days. He have not released anything new for many years now. Just kinda disappeared into nothing. It's a shame. Reggae have never been my genre of music, but he was a strong exception.
@petesmart1983
Loved cj as a kid especially in the UK when reggae was really popular in early to mid 90s
