We Cry
The Script Lyrics

Together we cry
The idea that people need to come together and support each other during difficult times.

Jenny was a poor girl
A young woman who was struggling financially in a world that didn't provide her with enough opportunities to succeed.

Living in a rich world
Despite her lack of resources, Jenny was living in a society that was economically privileged.

Named her baby Hope when she was just fourteen
Jenny decided to have a child at a young age with the hope that she could give her daughter a better life than she had.

She was hoping for a better world
Jenny held the belief that the world could be a better place, and that change was possible if people worked together.

For this little girl
Her main motivation was to create a better life for her daughter, and to empower her to reach her potential.

But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
Despite her best efforts, Jenny's daughter faced many of the same obstacles and challenges that her mother did.

Well she gets that call
Jenny receives news that her daughter is in danger and needs help.

Hope's too far gone
Jenny's daughter has reached a point where it's almost impossible to help her.

Her baby's on the way
Hope is pregnant and will soon give birth.

But nothing left inside
Jenny feels powerless and unable to change the outcome of her daughter's situation.

What about the junk head
Another individual who is struggling and facing difficult circumstances.

Could have gone the whole way
This person had the potential to achieve great things, but was derailed by their addiction.

Lighting up the stage trying to get a deal
This person was a talented performer who was trying to make it in the music industry.

Now he's lighting up the wrong way
However, his addiction has caused him to use drugs for the purpose of dulling his pain.

"Something for the pain!"
He desperately needs something to alleviate his suffering.

Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin' unreal
Despite his struggles, this person had a great deal of talent and potential.

When he gets that call
Something terrible happens to this person, or he receives some difficult news.

He's too far gone
He feels like he's reached a point of no return or that his situation is hopeless.

To get it together to sing one song
Despite his talent, he's unable to perform because he's too consumed by his addiction or other problems.

They won't hear tonight
He won't be able to share his music or message with others.

The words of a lullaby
The soothing or calming song that he would have performed for his audience.

Oh Mary's ambitious
Another young woman who is determined to achieve her goals and succeed despite the obstacles she faces.

She wanna to be a politician
Her ambition is to become a political leader and work to improve society.

She been dreaming about it since she was a girl
Her desire to have a positive impact on the world has been a part of her identity for a long time.

She thought that she'd be the one to change the world
Mary has a deep sense of responsibility to make the world a better place and feels that she can make a significant impact.

Always tryna pave the way for women in a man's world
She's also motivated by the desire to empower women and help them break through the barriers that have traditionally held them back.

But life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hits the jar, checks that don't go very far now
Despite her best intentions, Mary's life has become more complicated and challenging, with financial and personal issues complicating her path.

Now she in it can't change it, she keeps her mind on her wages
Mary feels like she's stuck in her current situation and can't find a way out, so she focuses on her job and career as a way to find fulfillment and purpose.

The only rattling cages!
Despite her limitations, Mary is still determined to make a difference and challenge the status quo.

There comes a time when every bird has to fly
Metaphor for the need for independence and the inevitability of change.

At some point every rose has to die
Another metaphor for the inevitability of loss and change.

It's hard to let your children go
Parents often feel a sense of loss and sadness as their children grow up and become more independent.

Leave home
The process of children moving out of their parents' home.

Where they go?
Parents often feel anxious about their children's future and may be uncertain about where they will end up.

Who knows!
There are many unknowns when it comes to the future.

Getting drunk
People often turn to alcohol or drugs as a way of coping with difficult emotions or experiences.

Getting stoned
Similar to getting drunk, using drugs is another way of trying to dull emotional pain or escape from reality.

All alone
Despite the presence of friends or loved ones, people may feel isolated and alone in their struggles.

Teach a man to fish
Metaphor for the importance of education and knowledge as a way of empowering people to succeed.

And feed him for life
If someone is given the skills and resources they need, they will be able to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives.

You show your kids the truth
It's important for parents to be honest with their children and provide them with guidance and support.

Hope they never lie
Parents hope that their children will be honest and trustworthy, and that they will make good decisions.

Instead of reading in a letter that they've gone to something better
The idea that parents would rather be able to see their children and know that they are safe and happy, rather than receiving news that they have passed away.

"Bet your sorry now! I won't be coming home tonight"
The regret that comes with realizing that someone you care about is gone and that you won't be able to see them again.

I'm sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
Belief that people shouldn't rely on the idea of a savior or hero to come and save them from their problems.

To teach us how to fly
This idea is often used as a metaphor for needing someone to help you find your way or provide guidance.
