VERSE1
I saw the lights go out this morning
Just as the sun was coming up
I was still walking round the city
Trying to find a way to sober up
 
VERSE2
There were cold and concrete canyons
Just as far as I could see
And in a window I saw someone
And I thought he looked an awful lot like me
 
CHORUS
I could hear him say -Im not gonna cry today
Im gonna take it all in stride -Keep the tears inside
And see what I can find
And Im not gonna think about it -Im just gonna live without it
Today will come and go -And Ill get by I know
Just one step at a time
 
VERSE3
I looked around to see who listened
The words just echoed off the stone
And as the streets filled up with people
Well I wondered why I felt so all alone
 
VERSE4
I found a seat beside a statue
Somebody once a famous man
And though his deeds were long forgotten
He was standing just as tall as he could stand

 
(CHORUS)
 
And Im not gonna cry today
