Gentle Giant - A Cry For Everyone Lyrics

Gentle Giant
Octopus
A Cry For Everyone
Run, why should I run away
When at the end the only truth certain -
One day everyone dies -
If only to justify life.
Live, I've lived a thousand lives;
And anyone is the right, the just life.
If I could cry, I'd cry for everyone.
Doubts, no doubt, is all I know.
There is no fate, there's no luck,
what does
that show.
Showing is proof, but proving is nothing
but fear.
If I could cry, I'd cry then for everyone.
Hope, I've hoped two thousand years,
but
no one hears, so I've cried, crying
vain tears.
Always too late, too late to cry, cry
for everyone.

Note:
The lyric gives away something of the
lyric thoughts of one or two members
of the band, and is inspired by the
literature and philosophy of
Albert Camus.
