**"Tears of Strength"**
Hey there, little one, listen close,
They'll tell you to be tough, to never show the ghost
Of sadness or fear, to hide your pain,
But I’m here to tell you, it’s okay to let it rain.
Lia bro.lia boychild
They’ll say, “Be a man, don’t let them see you cry,”
But strength, my dear, isn’t in how dry your eyes stay,
It’s in the courage to let those tears fall,
To show the world you feel it all.
It’s okay to hurt, to feel, to sigh,
It’s okay to wonder, to ask “why?”
Your heart’s not made of stone, it’s flesh and beat,
And sometimes, it breaks, and that’s no defeat.
So ukifeel it's enough is better you let it out juu boys pia hulia.
So cry, little one, when the world feels too heavy,
When the burden’s too big, and your spirit unsteady.
For in those tears, there’s a power so deep,
A way to heal, a way to keep
Your soul pure, your heart strong,
For tears don’t make you weak; they help you belong
To the world, to yourself, to the truth inside,
So let them flow, there’s no need to hide.
You’re not alone in those moments of sorrow,
And every tear you shed will bring a brighter tomorrow.
So cry, boychild, and know this is true,
There’s strength in your tears, and all of it’s in you.
