I Woke Up Crying Today

Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)

I woke up crying today,
And I don't know why?
Won't you comfort me?
Don't know how I cried.

Just this is my emotions,
I can't even explain them.
They're all so mysterious,
Hope I'll be happy again.

Open up my mind a little,
Don't know why I did cry.
In my mind, it don't settle,
I just don't even know why.

This is a true story, it begun,
Just I hope you'll comfort me.
It's true, I cried it's overcome,
Please I beg, won't you please?
