DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME

hope got my hands tied round my back
and time put a rope around my head
hung from the rafters of my fear
dark in the eyes

I try and face the world
I can't bear to
my knees hit the ground
and my hands start shaking
old feelings from
new faces
a rope on the floor
and a poor man hanging

please help me chop
this tree down
or hold me from underneath
words never once cut me down
oh don't you cry for me

I've seen an ocean run away
torn from the truth that holds my soul
down in the grave where I belong
oh what a ride

Identified my devil
wings to the sky on the run from trouble
with my own hands
no shovel
I dug through the ground
now I'm hanging above saying

please help me chop
this tree down
or hold me from underneath
words never once cut me down
oh don't you cry for me

down by the grave
that the law man laid
when the gravel got paved
finally I'm saved

when the sun went down
it set the sky on fire
I saw an angel fly
I never felt so high

please help me chop
this tree down
or hold me from underneath
words never once cut me down
oh don't you cry for me

WOW your voice so pure. I hope you read these comments. This song reminds me of the Iraqi war. I served 10 years and in 03-04 I was deployed to AR"Ramadi Iraq it seemed every day I had the thought of death and if I would see the sun set. I love the lyrics its real and the vision of a mans last moments. I know it is not about the war but it grabbed my heart and touched me in a way only you could understand thanks you for allowing me to find emotion again.  I would love to hear you write a song for Veterans and the war with your passion and slow painful draw you used in this song it would be great. I hope to hear back from you in a song. Keep up the great work God has truly blessed you Codi. K. Mozingo

One of my top 50 songs of all time! And I’m 52! This version of it! What a special song! I also like “Underneath”

[lilrMN]

They need a "love" button. Like is not adequate.

[nirogabrielp.]

Why this hasn't had million views yet????

[zo]

I know I’m late but this man’s voice is a miracle! Keep up the good work.

[katierenay]

I'd like to say I believe I created about 1k of these views alone. Lol. This version is so raw, so beautiful. The parable word play is art. Yaaaas.
