“Why you gotta act be so strong?
Go ahead and take off your brave face
Why you telling me that nothing's wrong?
It's obvious you’re not in a good place
Who's telling you to keep it all inside
And never let those feelings
Get past the corner of your eye
You don't need to run
You don't need to speak
Baby, take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek
It maybe tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight it's alright
Just cry
…
So feel the things your feeling
And a sadness, loneliness and anger
Let it out, let it out
You don't need to run
You don't need to speak
Baby, take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek
It maybe tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight it's alright
Just cry
Just cry
It doesn't mean you don't trust Him
It doesn't mean you don't believe
It doesn't mean you don't know
He's redeeming everything
You don't need to run
You don't need to speak
Baby, take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek
It maybe tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight it's alright
But tonight it's alright
Just cry
Why you gotta act so strong?
Go ahead and take off your brave face”
~Mandisa
We’ve all felt grief
We’ve all felt pain
The sharp sting of loss
And sometimes
You don’t have to be strong
There are some days
When you can break down
It’s okay
You don’t need to stay strong
Not all the time
Not always
Sometimes you need to let your guard down
Melt once in a while
Let the tears flow
Get rid of that brave face
Crying is not a sign of weakness
It’s a sign of being human
