Story Behind The Song

My Life experience as a singer songwriter.

Song Description

And the refusal to let the world bring me down.

Lyrics

We Don't Cry Anymore

No one hears the rain that falls like drums upon the window No one hears the anthem that we sing for your lost children
No one hears a young woman sing a prayer into the sunset
No one sees their innocence till their lover walks away

But I don't cry anymore I've given up remembering to worry bout the things that made me hurry to the dreams outside my door.
I cut myself away from the way, I cut myself away from today,

I cut my sails and I drift away, to where I can't remain.

I did not see my mirror break as I laughed at my reflection, I didn't know the time of day so I gave up my direction.
I couldn't find no song to sing in a book of empty pages, I couldn't find a turning point in the dreaming of my name

But I won't cry anymore, or accept a careless offer to leave my love and suffer for the dreams outside my door, I cut myself away from the way, I cut myself away from today, I cut my sails and I drift away, to where I can't remain.

No one saw the raven fly black on black it turned to night no one heard the savior sigh while playing on the weekend
No one felt the young poet break upon the rock she had to make to call out her forgotten pain and turn it into laughter

So We don't cry anymore, We don't cry anymore, We don't cry anymore, We don't cry anymore,

We've given up remembering to worry bout the dreams that made me hurry to the world outside my door
I cut myself away from their way, I cut myself away from the game they play, I cut my sails and I drift away, to where I can't remain.

No one sees the rainbow in a sundance on a window
No one hears the anthem that we sing for your lost children
