Verse 1

For the widow and the orphan
Silenced and afraid
Their futures crushed and stolen
Grieving where injustice bled

Chorus 1

We cry for the weak and hurting
Cry for the desperate souls
Cry till the fight is over
Dare to dream the broken whole
We cry

Verse 2

For the exile and the stranger
Homeless and betrayed
In emptiness and hunger
Reaching for their daily bread

Chorus 2

We cry for the weak and hurting
Cry for the desperate souls
Cry till the fight is over
Dare to dream the broken whole
We cry when the helpless suffer
Cry when their strength is gone
Cry for the generations
Hope is not forgotten when we cry

Bridge

Acting justly
Loving mercy
Walking humbly
Day by day

We Cry
