Does my discomfort
Comfort you
Do you believe that joy
Is too much to hope for
Can you see?
Our existence could be so much more
Create yours
And all I ask is
Just a little respect from you
Do you even know who I am

[Chorus]
Do you hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you
Hear my cry
Do you believe in me
'Cause I believe in you

You shaped my passion
But shame my name
Your fear is to listen
And to recognize my pain
You block my journey
You mock my tears
Tell me why
I spoke for us, for we
But now there's just silence

[Chorus]

For a brighter day
I hope to see you again
For a brighter day
I'm hoping we can still be friends
For a brighter day
I wish we could fly away
Together baby you and I
Can't you hear my cry,
My cry, my cry

[Chorus]
