Don't Cry Lyrics - Livin' On A High Note - Mavis Staples

The world is big 

And often wrong 

But Truth is bigger 

And twice as strong 

Sometimes ain't pretty 

Sometimes ain't nice 

But hold your ground 

Dry your eyes 

Here take my word 

Take my life 

Don't cry 

They'll say they love you 

When juice is flowing 

When money is gone 

They must be going 

Sometimes they bring 

Coming from a friend 

But you be ready 

If it happens again 

Here take my word 

Take my life 

Don't cry 

Don't cry when they wanna sell you 

Don't cry when they wanna fight 

Don't cry when they don't believe you 

And you know you're right 

Don't cry when they wanna paint you 

Into a corner of their design 

It's your innocent blood they want 

It's your innocent mind

Don't cry when they wanna sell you 

Don't cry when they wanna fight 

Don't cry when they don't believe you 

When you know you're right 

Don't cry when they wanna paint you 

Into a corner of their design 

It's your innocent blood they want 

It's your innocent 

Innocent mind 

Well the world is big 

And often wrong 

But your heart is bigger 

And twice as strong 

Sometimes a mystery 

Sometimes it's blind 

But it won't deceive you 

It doesn't lie 

Here take my word 

Take my life 

Don't cry 

Here take my word 

Here take my life 

Don't cry 

Here take my word 

Take my life 

Don't cry
