From the cradle to the grave
A boy is told to be brave
Hide your tears, don't you see
A real man is supposed to be free
From emotions, from pain
A mask he must maintain

Boys don't cry, they say
But inside, they're lost at sea
A societal lie
That keeps them from being free

Growing up, a heavy load
To fit in a man-made mold
Shoulders broad, a heart of stone
Never show that you're alone
But behind the tough facade
A boy's spirit is raw

Boys don't cry, they say
But inside, they're lost at sea
A societal lie
That keeps them from being free
It's time to break the mold
Let emotions unfold
Strength lies in vulnerability
Let's rewrite history

It's time to break these chains
And feel the Sun and rain
To let emotions flow
And let our true selves grow

Boys don't cry, they say
But inside, they're lost at sea
A societal lie
That keeps them from being free
It's time to break the mold
Let emotions unfold
Strength lies in vulnerability
Let's rewrite history

It's time to break the mold
Let emotions unfold
Strength lies in vulnerability
Let's rewrite history

Boys don't cry, they say
But inside, they're lost at sea
A societal lie
That keeps them from being free
It's time to break the mold
Let emotions unfold
Strength lies in vulnerability
Let's rewrite history
