Analysis of Cry
Lloyd Stiffler 1964 (Xenia Ohio)
The sound was blue and full of pain
It mixed with tears in the falling rain
Without the grasp of some kind of hope
It’s hard for some to ever cope
We see the struggle of those in our lives
At times we think it’s all contrived
But we can replace the blue with softer
Tones
And let those see there never alone
