The young boy scrapes his knee
Or he falls out of a tree
And his Mama hears his screams from far away
She runs to dry his eye
She say's its O.K to cry
'Cos everything that hurts will go away
It goes away it might take years
Or a hundred thousand tears
But one day the sky will clear it goes awa......y

Oh the boy's just turned sixteen
He's bashful lives in dreams
And his heart breaks when the girls go by his way
He's chokin' deep inside
From swallowing false pride
'Til he remembers that od prayer it goes away
Or a hundred thousand tears
But one day the sky will clear it goes awa.......y

The older that we grow
Oh the less we seem to know
But we still recite the old prayers every day
Yeah we hope the bomb won't drop
And all the wars will stop
And when our heartbreaks
That the pain will go away
It goes away it might take years
Or a hundred thousand tears
But one day the sky will clear it goes awa.......y
It goes away it might take years
Or a hundred thousand tears
But one day the sky will clear it goes awa.......y
