[Intro – Spoken Word] Oh,
my
people!
Some
people
are
smiling,
but
their
hearts
are
bleeding.
Some
people
are
laughing,
but
their
souls
are
grieving.
They
will
tell
you, “
I'm
fine,”
when
everything
is
falling
apart.
This
is
the
story
of
somebody
crying
with
one
eye.
[Chorus] I'm
crying
with
one
eye,
smiling
with
the
other,
Telling
everybody
I'm
fine,
but
I'm
suffering
under
cover.
One
eye
sees
the
sunshine,
one
eye
sees
the
pain,
I
dance
under
the
rainbow
while
I'm
standing
in
the
rain.
I'm
crying
with
one
eye,
who
will
understand?
I've
got
a
broken
heart,
but
I'm
still
a
standing
man.
If
you
see
me
laughing,
don't
think
my
troubles
are
gone,
Sometimes
the
people
smiling
are
the
ones
hurting
all
along.
[Verse 1] I
wake
up
in
the
morning,
put
a
smile
upon
my
face,
Step
outside
my
doorway
like
I'm
winning
every
race.
My
neighbours
see
me
coming,
they
say, “
Brother,
how
you
dey?”
I
tell
them, “
Everything
is
fine,”
then
I
quietly
walk
away.
Nobody
knows
the
battles
that
I'm
fighting
in
my
mind,
Nobody
sees
the
tears
I
leave
a
hundred
miles
behind.
I
carry
all
my
worries
like
a
burden
on
my
head,
While
I
tell
the
hungry
world
that
I
have
eaten
bread.
My
may
be
empty,
but
my
mouth
still
says, “
I'm
good,”
I
help
another
person,
even
when
I'm
short
of
food.
I
lend
a
hand
to
people,
though
nobody
holds
my
own,
And
when
the
night
comes
calling,
I
face
my
pain
alone.
[Chorus] I'm
crying
with
one
eye,
smiling
with
the
other,
Telling
everybody
I'm
fine,
but
I'm
suffering
under
cover.
One
eye
sees
the
sunshine,
one
eye
sees
the
pain,
I
dance
under
the
rainbow
while
I'm
standing
in
the
rain.
I'm
crying
with
one
eye,
who
will
understand?
I've
got
a
broken
heart,
but
I'm
still
a
standing
man.
If
you
see
me
laughing,
don't
think
my
troubles
are
gone,
Sometimes
the
people
smiling
are
the
ones
hurting
all
along.
[Verse 2] I
remember
when
we
started,
we
had
nothing
but
a
dream,
We
believed
that
life
would
favour
us,
or
so
it
used
to
seem.
We
shared
the
little
money,
we
divided
what
we
had,
But
when
the
table
turned
against
me,
everybody
disappeared.
The
friends
who
called
me
brother
no
longer
know
my
name,
The
ones
who
shared
my
victories
don't
want
to
share
my
pain.
They
celebrate
your
glory,
but
they
disappear
in
rain,
Then
they
ask
you
why
you're
different
when
you
finally
rise
again.
Oh,
life
is
a
teacher,
but
the
lessons
can
be
hard,
Sometimes
the
closest
people
leave
the
deepest
scars.
Still,
I
refuse
to
hate
them,
I
won't
let
bitterness
grow,
Because
the
seed
of
every
morning
is
the
hope
that
I
still
sow.
[Verse 3] Some
mothers
cry
in
silence
so
their
children
will
not
know,
Some
fathers
hide
their
worries
so
their
families
can
grow.
Some
lovers
say, “
I
love
you,”
while
their
hearts
are
breaking
down,
Some
people
wear
their
happiness
like
a
king
wears
his
crown.
The
poor
man
hides
his
hunger,
the
rich
man
hides
his
fear,
The
one
who
makes
you
laugh
may
need
somebody
near.
The
person
giving
counsel
may
be
searching
for
advice,
And
the
one
who
says, “
Keep
going,”
may
be
paying
his
own
price.
So
when
you
meet
a
stranger,
don't
be
quick
to
judge
their
face,
A
little
love
and
kindness
can
restore
somebody's
grace.
You
never
know
the
burden
that
another
soul
may
bear,
Sometimes
the
greatest
gift
you
give
is
showing
that
you
care.
[Bridge – Call and Response] Who
is
crying
in
silence? —
Somebody!
Who
is
smiling
through
the
pain? —
Somebody!
Who
is
praying
for
a
breakthrough? —
Somebody!
Who
is
waiting
for
the
rain?
We
are
crying
with
one
eye! —
But
we
still
stand!
We
are
walking
through
the
fire! —
Hand
in
hand!
Though
the
road
is
getting
harder,
we
won't
lose
our
way,
The
sun
that
hides
this
evening
will
return
another
day!
[Verse 4 – Hope and Redemption] One
day
I'll
tell
my
story,
and
my
tears
will
turn
to
songs,
I'll
remember
every
moment
that
I
thought
I
wasn't
strong.
Every
door
that
closed
before
me
taught
me
how
to
find
a
way,
Every
night
that
seemed
eternal
had
to
surrender
to
the
day.
I
may
be
down
this
morning,
but
my
spirit
isn't
dead,
I've
got
faith
inside
my
heart
and
a
dream
inside
my
head.
I
will
wipe
away
my
tears,
I
will
stand
up
once
again,
For
a
tree
that
bends
in
sorrow
can
still
blossom
after
rain.
And
if
you
see
me
crying,
please
don't
turn
your
face
away,
You
don't
have
to
solve
my
problems;
just
be
with
me
today.
Sometimes
all
a
broken
heart
needs
is
a
friend
who
understands,
Someone
who
will
hold
you
when
you
can
no
longer
stand.
[Final Chorus – Powerful and Emotional] I'm
crying
with
one
eye,
smiling
with
the
other,
Trying
to
be
strong
for
my
sister
and
my
brother.
One
eye
sees
the
sunshine,
one
eye
sees
the
pain,
But
I
know
that
after
sorrow,
joy
will
come
again.
I'm
crying
with
one
eye,
but
I
won't
give
up
the
fight,
Even
when
the
day
is
dark,
I
believe
in
morning
light.
If
you
see
me
laughing,
know
that
I'm
human
too,
Behind
this
smile
is
a
story
that
I
may
never
tell
you.
[Outro – Spoken Word] My
people,
remember
this:
Not
every
smile
means
happiness.
No
