Text: Mandisa. What If We Were Real. Just Cry.

Why you gotta act so strong
Go ahead and take off your brave face
Why you telling me nothing's wrong
It's obvious you're not in a good place

Who's telling you to keep it all inside
And never let those feelings get past
The corner of your eye

You don't need to run
You don't to need to speak
Baby, take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek

It may be tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight, it's alright
Just cry

I know you know your Sunday songs
A dozen verses by memory, yeah, they're good
But life is hard, and days get long
You gotta know God can handle your honesty

So feel the things you're feeling
Name your fears and doubts
Don't stuff your shame and sadness
Loneliness and anger, let it out, let it out

You don't need to run
You don't to need to speak
Baby, take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek

It may be tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight, it's alright
Just cry, just cry

It doesn't mean you don't trust Him
It doesn't mean you don't believe
It doesn't mean you don't know
He's redeeming everything

You don't need to run
You don't to need to speak
Baby, take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek

It may be tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight, it's alright
But tonight, it's alright
Just cry, ooh, just cry

Why you gotta act so strong
Go ahead and take off your brave face
