Cry
Michael Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 going to 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 man's eyes when he cries?

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (gonna to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to 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 fill with madness
Miracles unheard of, hold on
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do
Is to reach for the truth, the truth

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (going to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to 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

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

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

You can change the world
You can touch the sky, that's right (going to take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
If we all cry at the same time tonight
If we all cry at the same time tonight

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself) You can touch the sky (gonna to take somebody's help) You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign) If we all cry at the same time tonight
Everybody has the potential to make a difference in the world, but it takes collective effort and support to truly achieve something great. Even with one's own strengths and talents, it can still be difficult to overcome obstacles without the help of others. Therefore, we must come together and acknowledge our shared struggles and emotions if we want to create meaningful change.


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?
People often mask their sadness and pain by putting on a brave or cheerful front, but there are also those who are causing harm and violence in the world. It is important to have faith in one's dreams and not lose hope, but it is also crucial to acknowledge the suffering of others and take action to help them.


Faces fill with madness Miracles unheard of, hold on Faith is found in the winds All we have to do Is to reach for the truth, the truth
The world can seem chaotic and unpredictable, and it may seem like there is no hope or possibility for anything to change. But even in the most difficult of times, there are still moments of beauty and wonder that emerge. It is through having faith and staying true to oneself that one can find strength and purpose in life.


And when that flag blows There'll be no more wars And when all calls I will answer all your prayers, prayers
The image of a flag blowing in the wind represents the hope for peace and unity in the world. If we can all come together and work towards this common goal, then we can put an end to war and conflict. Additionally, there is a sense of comfort and reassurance in the idea that we are not alone in our struggles, and that there is a force greater than ourselves that is looking out for us.


You can change the world You can touch the sky (going to take somebody's help) You're the chosen one (I'm going to need some kind of sign) If we all cry at the same time tonight
The repetition of this chorus emphasizes the message that change is possible, but it cannot be done alone. We need to work together and acknowledge our shared pain if we want to make a real impact on the world. Even if we feel lost or uncertain, we are all capable of making a difference if we believe in ourselves and in each other.

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, again

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 man's eyes when he cries?

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (Gonna to 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 takin' a life, hold on
Respect to believe in your dreams
Tell me where were you
When your children cried last night?

Faces fill with madness, oh
Miracles unheard of, hold on
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do
Is to reach for the truth, the truth

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (It's 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 (Ooh, why?)
And when all calls
I will answer all your prayers, yeah yeah yeah

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)
You can touch the sky, oh no (Gonna take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one (Come on, I need some kind of sign)
If we all cry (Cry with me) at the same time tonight
You can change the world (I can't do it by myself, alright)
You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help)
You're the chosen one, whoa (I'm gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight
You can change the world (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
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
If we all cry at the same time tonight
If we all cry at the same time tonight

Change the world
