The first thing we do when we're born So quickly from our weary Mother's arms we are torn Trying to make sense of a world overwhelming The pressure in ours ears makes a whisper sounds like yelling The first thing we do when we're born The first thing that we do when we fall Is learn eventually that gravity will get us all The skin off your knees feels like hell for just a minute Til Daddy comes bellowing just rub some dirt in it The first thing that we do when we fall The sermon of your tears are merely preaching to the choir Life is pals with pain it's okay to be a crier To be a crier The first thing we do when our hearts break Is realize there's only so much hurt one heart can take Rejection rears it's ugly face How the hell did all this happen? Tried to dam the river but the damn thing kept collapsing The first thing we do when our hearts break The sermon of your tears are merely preaching to the choir Life is pals with pain it's okay to be a crier If you say you never have then hell, you would be a liar If you are here then you've been hurt You deserve to be a crier To be a crier Dealing with our feeling's is essential to survival Hell, it's right there in the shortest verse in The Bible To be a crier To be a crier To be a crier To be a crier
