lyrics

What if I don't make it out tonight?
What if I don't make it out alive?
What if I get a little too emotional sometimes?
That's just what they say to make girls feel real small and keep 'em quiet.

I'm gonna cry heart open wide.
I'm gonna sing with a tear in my eye.

What if you get a little too emotional sometimes?
We all know real men don't cry.
What if you get a little too emotional tonight?
We all know real men don't even have tear ducts, am I right?

Let me tell you a story
How a stranger put his hands upon me in the back of a bus and not a soul spoke up.

Someday I'm gonna tell a real man and he'll get real mad and he'll cry for me. How I long to see that.

Excuse me while I collect myself - I've seen hell with open eyes.
Somebody cry for my brother, he walks through the fire and he's half alive.
O somebody cry for my sister, you don't about her father, what he did but you've got names to call her. Somebody stand, wave your bloody hands and surrender. Somebody stand and stop this man.

music is universal. pain seems to be as well. i live my life believing that healing can be a universal thing too. we are all capable of that.

i'm currently studying music therapy but still enjoy writing, recording and playing shows. my album "I Don't Want Your Roses" is up on Itunes! Or you can get a physical copy via meghanbowman@hotmail.com
