Lyrics
[verse]
I try to move across the stage
without falling
I hold my breath for as long as it takes
I stare at the ceiling
People are hurtful
make things feel painful
people are wrong
Woman and man
husband and wife
I'm all alone
[chorus]
But I see your face
shining through the clouded sky
I hear your hands
clapping like a thunderstorm
The biggest smile
I've ever seen a human try
And all I want
is to hold you close and cry cry cry
[verse]
My work ain't charity
a feel of inferiority
I bleed
You all question my ability
looking at me viciously
but I proceed
[chorus]
And I see your face
shining through the clouded sky
I hear your hands
clapping like a thunderstorm
The biggest smile
I've ever seen a human try
And all I want
is to hold you close and cry cry cry
