Don't Cry

[Intro: Bugzy Malone]

When I wake up in the morning

[Verse 1: Bugzy Malone]

I'm bleeding out, I'm bleeding out

My eyes are full of blood, they're closing up

My clothes are tight enough, they cut them off

The skies aren't bright enough to see the gods

One hand on the crown, I'm on the ground

Tears are falling as she's looking down

The sky looks way darker than usual

And it's like dark's becoming beautiful

[Pre-Chorus: Bugzy Malone]

I told 'em, don't cry, be a soldier

Now you're holding your composure

I think I see the holy ghost

I'm not ready yet to leave the throne

No crying, I'm a soldier

And I'm holding my composure

I think I see the holy ghost

I'm not ready yet to leave the throne

[Chorus: Dermot Kennedy]

Night, night to my enemies

Didn't think I would survive my injuries

Didn't think the almighty would intervene

I know they are praying for the death of me (Death of me)

If life was a melody

Would the angels congregate and sing for me?

Blue lights in the sky signify tragedy

You're chosen by the heavens and you have to leave (Have to leave)

[Verse 2: Bugzy Malone]

Did you think I died for a second?

So did I for a second

Oh lord, I look up into the sky

And count my blessings

Are you taking me early?

Are the gates really pearly

Will I wake up in the morning?

[Verse 3: Dermot Kennedy]

Where was you when you seen it?

Nearly died and I mean it

I cannot think of another time

In life that I have needed

The support of my people

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

[Pre-Chorus: Bugzy Malone]

I told 'em, don't cry, be a soldier

Now you're holding your composure

I think I see the holy ghost

I'm not ready yet to leave the throne

No crying, I'm a soldier

Now you're holding your composure

I think I see the holy ghost

I'm not ready yet to leave the throne

[Chorus: Dermot Kennedy]

Night, night to my enemies

Didn't think I would survive my injuries

Didn't think the almighty would intervene

I know they are praying for the death of me (Death of me)

If life was a melody

Would the angels congregate and sing for me?

Blue lights in the sky signify tragedy

You're chosen by the heavens and you have to leave (Have to leave)

[Outro: Dermot Kennedy]

Shoot me down, paranoia

Bring a medic, bring a lawyer

I can't even bear the thought of

Living on with all this trauma

If the blood thickens up

And goes to your heart, will you fall apart

When the bright days start to feel dark?

If it's breaking my spirit and I pray

Will you hear it? Hallelujah, Hallelujah

If it's breaking my spirit and I pray

Will you hear it? Hallelujah, Hallelujah
