Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Behind the school in a grassy field
She kicks the ball a little too high
Too much leg on a windy day
The whistle blows, the tears come fast
Carrying the weight of her whole team
Just two feet wide, short of their dream
Her dad walks up, lifts her chin, and says
[Chorus]
Can't be crying when the morning comes
There's gonna be a lot of loss in this life
Let the tears run till the sun goes down
But when the sunrise lights the sky
You pick yourself up, you find your fight
Can't be crying when the morning comes
[Verse 2]
The rain never came like it used to do
Banker's calling in the loan that's due
Standing in his field watching the sun go down
Dust on his hands, still shine in his eye
He hears his granddad's voice clear as day
[Chorus]
Can't be crying when the morning comes
There's gonna be a lot of loss in this life
Let the tears run till the sun goes down
But when the sunrise lights the sky
You pick yourself up, you find your fight
Can't be crying when the morning comes
[Verse 3]
Single mama, three kids, the rent is overdue
She's working double shifts just to make it through
Sitting in her car before she walks inside
Trying to find the strength not to break and cry
She hears her grandma's voice clear as day
[Bridge]
Let it hurt tonight
Let it cut you deep
But don't let sorrow
Be the only thing you keep
[Chorus]
Can't be crying when the morning comes
There's gonna be a lot of loss in this life
Let the tears run till the sun goes down
But when the sunrise lights the sky
You pick yourself up, you find your fight
Can't be crying when the morning comes
[Outro]
Let the tears run till the sun goes down
But you pick yourself up when the morning comes
Yeah, you pick yourself up
Can't be crying when the morning comes
