Lord you know I've cried a thousand tears tonight But nothing seems to quench the thirst you keep on craving But now I need an answer to my prayers and you're not there So why I think you listen listen Has no one told you your cries are all in vain And everyone keeps trying to take that all away Has no one told you your cries are all in vain Your cries Lord I can't disguise the look inside my eyes The more I try to look away the more I'm staring But now i need an answer to my prayers and your not there So why I think you listen listen Has no one told you your cries are all in vain And everyone keeps trying to take that all away Has no one told you your cries are all in vain Your cries Your cries in vain Your cries in vain Your cries in vain Your cries in vain I look away Has no one told you your cries are all in vain And everyone is trying to take that all away Has no one told you your cries are all in vain Your cries Has nobody told you when you look away The stories they told you still run through your veins Has nobody told you when you look away The stories they told you still run through your veins
