Cry

Kari Rueslåtten

I walk out of the shade into the light

For what must be the very first time

I dont walk fast

I'm enjoying each step

Then I see you from a distance

And I smile

Smile through my teeth

Falling apart is not for me

I'd rather stick to fighting

When I've been here for years

For a thousand years

There will still be dark days and..

I cry, even though I smile

Smiling through tears

Sometimes, when you're near

Oh I sense you've been here

I know it has taken a while

For me to come clear

It's getting darker outside

I put on a coat

It's been a while since I felt cold

I do not walk fast

I'm enjoying each step

Then I see you from a distance

And I smile

Smile through my teeth

I cry, even though I smile

Smiling through tears

Sometimes, when you're near

Oh I sense you've been here

I know it has taken a while

For me to come clear
