Aint No Shame (In Crying)
Written by Victor Smallwood & Bo Parker/ Melody by Drew Williams


[Verse 1]
My wife lies in a hospital bed
As I sit there scratching my head
Trying to read what’s on her mind
As I monitor the baby’s vital signs
His condition is stable but still unsure
My son born 2 months premature
A little smaller than I had planned
Inside a world I do not understand

[Chorus 1]
There ain’t no shame in crying
Let the tears fall where they may
Son, keep fighting, please keep trying
And everything’s gonna be okay
As you breathe each breath on this machine
I will stay strong be-cause
My strength is what you’ll need

There’s one thing that’s all right
Aint no shame in crying

[Verse 2]
I’ve been through every emotion
Suffering through the endless devotion
To hell and back then back again
We will see this through to the very end
I’m long past the endless whys
Awaiting the sound of my son’s cry
So very young and expected to survive
As I try holding back the pain inside

[Repeat Chorus 1]
There ain’t no shame in crying
Let the tears fall where they may
Son, keep fighting, please keep trying
And everything’s gonna be okay
As you breathe each breath on this machine
I will stay strong be-cause
My strength is what you’ll need

There’s one thing that’s all right
Aint no shame in crying

[instrumental break]

[Chorus 2]
There ain’t no shame in crying
Let the tears fall where they may
This is one mountain that we’re climbing
But everything’s gonna be okay
The time will come when we’ll head on home
To the only place
Where you will never be… alone

I’ll kiss your smiling face and know
Aint no shame in crying
