Child, don't cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
These sad songs are here to stay
But you don't have to let them worry
All you ever need to know is how to smile
When the thunder strikes
The lightning will shine down on you
Some hearts are broken
Some heads are lost in clouds
Cause they'll try to keep you down
They'll try to pick you up
They'll try everything to break
And glue you to pieces again
Only to pick you up
When you're feeling your way down
So keep love by your side
Child, don't cry
All those tears will soon dry
Don't you worry
These sad songs are always here to stay
So you can never let yourself worry
All you ever need to hold onto
Is your own two feet
When you find yourself far
Stand up and run home
Some mothers aren't strong
Some fathers will drink too much
Cause they'll try to keep you down
They'll try to pick you up
They'll try everything to break
And glue you to pieces you again
Only to pick you up
When you're feeling your way down
So keep love by your side
Child, don't cry
These tears will soon fade away
All the clouds in your sad, sad song
Will one day, one day go with the rain
