Don't Let Me See You Cry
- Mama, please don't let me see you cry
- mama, aint no need for you to wonder why
- I only tried to make things right
- mama, please don't let me see you cry
- I'm not ashamed of what I've done
- only did what 1 had to do
- there's no room in this world for me
- they don't leave any choice
- they don't leave any choice
- they've taken my rights and my voice
- we didn't know they would kill
- only tried to make a stand
- we’re not dogs in the field
- or slaves upon the hill
- I'm just as good as they are
- and if I don't stand, who will?
- papa, please don't shed a tear
- papa I'm gonna' die but I don't fear
- aren't you proud of what I tried to do
- papa my love for you is always near
- I hope that you understand
- why I gave my life away
- why I'd rather die young
- than live my life their way
- if my worth is up to them
- then let me die today
- please explain for me
- I didn't mean for him to die
- I know what they must think of me
- but I'm not what I may seem
- it all happened so fast pa
- my life it seems like a dream
- brother, are you too young to understand
- brother you have no right to raise your hand
- I hope your proud of what I tried to do
- brother, take good care of your land
- I can't tell you what to do
- they've already lost a son
- but in a few more years you may feel the same
- you may know the pain that I've known
- a time is coming it scares me so
- when you will stand alone
- remember the words that I said
- the life that I've tried to live
- in a world of hatred we have lived our lives
- maybe we always will
- but in our struggle we must stay the line
- for my sake brother don't kill
- mama please don't let me see you cry
- mama all my life I've wondered why
- nothing I did ever turned out right
- mama I'm afraid to die
