verse

See a father sell his land
Just to keep his family fed
See a mother pray for help
End of day she hangs her head
See the child that’s born to them
Notice how he never cries
See the way he looks through things
They never thought to wonder why

verse

See the family’s humble home
As they make it year-by-year
See the way that young boy grows
And his father starts to fear
See the people shy away
They won’t ever understand
They don’t know this young boy’s fate
They can’t see him as a man

outro

And he never cries
And he never cries
And he never cries
And he never cries
