Maxi Priest

Cry Me A River

Like a tear that never falls

It's like a story left untold, oh, oh, oh, ah

Like a pain within one's heart, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Where do I find the words to start?

Cry me a river that paths the way

Set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river that paths the way

To set my people free, oh, oh, ah

I turn it over in my mind, oh, oh, oh, oh

So much to do, so little time, oh, oh, oh, ah

I said their path lies in the truth, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

What can we do to help the youths?

Cry me a river that paths the way

Set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river that paths the way

To set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river that paths the way

Set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river that paths the way

To set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river

We have the ways, we have the means

To turn to reality this dream, oh, oh, oh, ah

We put our shoulders to the wheel, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is a love we all can feel, oh, won't you?

Cry me a river that paths the way

Set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river that paths the way

To set my people free, oh, oh, ah

Cry me a river that paths the way

Cry me a river that paths the way

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cry me a river

Cry me a river
