His soul cries what words can't say His body screams, his mind looks away Every day he wears the armor again Even the mirror forgets who he's been He carries dreams, he carries the weight Silent prayers no one hears He carries names he can't let down Wears a smile while he breaks down He was never made of steel, still knows how to cry Learned too young to hide what's inside His soul cries... God can hear Even when his heart disappears His soul cries... but he stands tall Fighting battles no one knows at all He needs a hug but never shows Holds the words nobody knows Broken men still rise again Fighting storms they hide within Broken men still rise again They bend... but never break Let the tears fall, let them heal Real strength is what he feels The weight he carries won't define his name Hope survives beyond the pain He was never made of steel, still knows how to cry Learned too young to hide what's inside His soul cries... God can hear Even when his heart disappears His soul cries... but he stands tall Fighting battles no one knows at all
