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
