For the
Cross
Verse 1:
I read in the newspaper day after day
there are people who do wrong and don't know to say
that they're sorry for all of the things that they've done
they just close their eyes turn their backs and they run
we have to teach them to pray
forgiveness is easy and it's not so far away
Chorus:
I cry for the people who don't know don't know the way
I cry for the martyrs who don't know to pray
I cry for all people those wandering lost
I cry... for the cross
Verse 2:
I ain't gonna buy cuz you're sellin disgrace
so don't even try pushin that in my face
someone is dyin on their bathroom floor
and i know just why cuz I've seen it before
you're taking their lives in your hand
I pray that someday you will see and understand
Chorus:
Bridge (solo):
Chorus:
I cry for the people who don't know don't know the way
I cry for the martyrs who don't know to pray
I cry for all people those wandering lost
I cry . . . I cry . . . I cry
for the cross
