For I do not want to cry

standing strong

Fighting back tears

for I do not want to cry

I shall rise above this pain

Wear a smile given to me by strength

for I do not want to cry

And shall laugh and be happy

Such a sweet sound

For I do not want to cry

I am who I am flaws, mistakes, and all

So I'll not let things haunt me

For I do not want to cry.
