Together we cry!

Together we cry...
Together we cry…
Jenny was poor girl living in a rich world
Named her baby hope when he was just fourteen
She was hoping for a better world for this little girl
But the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree
Well she gets that call hope’s too far gone

Her baby’s on the way but nothing left inside

Together we cry!

What about the junk head could have gone the whole way

Lighting up the stage trying to get a deal

Now he’s lighting up the wrong way“something for the pain!”

Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin’ unreal

When he gets that call he’s too far gone

To get it together to sing one song hey won’t hear tonight

The words of a lullaby

Together we cry…

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Together we cry…

Together we cry…

Oh we cry we cry we cry

Together we cry.

Oh oh…Oh…

Mary’s ambitious she wanna to be a politician

She been dreaming about it since she was a girl

She thought that she’d be the one to change the world

Always trying to pave the way for a woman in a… man’s world

Life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hits the jar,

Cheques that don’t go very far now

Now she in it can’t change it, she keeps her mind on her wages

The only rattling cages!

Ohhh…Together we cry

Together we cry

There’s so much sad wanna flood the ocean

We're all in tears from the world is broken

Together we cry.

There comes a time when every bird has to fly

At some point every rose has to die

It’s hard to let your children go home

Where they go?

Who knows!

Getting drunk

Getting stoned All alone

Teach a man to fish

You’ll feed him never lie

You show your kids the truth hope they never lie

Instead of reading in a letter that they’ve gone to something better

“Bet your sorry now! I won’t be coming home tonight”

I’m sick of looking for those heroes in the sky

To teach us how to fly

Together we cry

Together we cry…

Together we cry…

So much sad wanna flood the ocean

We're all in tears from the world is broken

Together we cry…

Oh…Yeah…

Together we cry, cry…

Together we cry

This world is broken and this song seems to show no hope for it ever being fixed. I decided to share this song with you,a ll of it, sware words and all, because I believe that we all know people with stories like these.

What do we do when we here these stories? What do we do when we know these people? What do we do when we watch the news or read the newspaper and hear time after time about murder, suiside, broken families, broken people, war, crime, illness, debt?
What is our reaction to evil and brokeness?

I know that it can sometimes be so easy to just sit back, especially if its the news and just let it wash over us. Sometimes it can seem as if we have become desensitised and forget that we should be weeping for this world full of brokeness.

When we come face to face to these people do we become holier than thou or do we have mercy and compassion on people that are desperate for love.

In a world that is so broken as this, it needs Jesus even more than before. Jesus can be here through us, we are His hands and feet. We are His eyes and His ears. We are His representatives on this world.

We should be on our hands and knees crying out to God to save these people, to save this broken world, because though we sow in sorrow, we will harvest in joy!

There may not be much hope left in the world,

but when hope is lost,

it can always be found again!

Do not lose hope that this world will one day be fixed

So let this be our prayer:

And now, God, do it again—

bring rains to our drought-stricken lives

So those who planted their crops in despair

will shout hurrahs at the harvest,

So those who went off with heavy hearts

will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.

Psalm 126:5 (The Message)
