I cried today for the first time in years I cried today, and they were real tears I cried not because I conquered my fears Or because I lost all that was dear I cried today, shedding tears like the rain I cried today, letting go of all the pain I cried so much, again and again And these were tears I couldn't restrain I cried today, cos' I finally understood me Knowing fully well all that I could ever be I lived in the shadows where no one could see A prisoner to my thoughts wanting to be free I cried today and these were tears of joy I cried today, knowing I am a new born A freed man, that was locked in the skin of a boy A freed man whose life has just begun I cried today and they were real tears I cried today for the first time in many years

Tears
I cried today for the first time in years I cried today, and they were real tears I cried not because I conquered my fears Or because I lost all that was dear I cried today, shedding tears like the rain I cried today, letting go of all the pain I cried so much, again and again And these were tears I couldn't restrain I cried today, cos' I finally understood me Knowing fully well all that I could ever be I lived in the shadows where no one could see A prisoner to my thoughts wanting to be free I cried today and these were tears of joy I cried today, knowing I am a new born A freed man, that was locked in the skin of a boy A freed man whose life has just begun I cried today and they were real tears I cried today for the first time in many years
