Alvin Ailey's "Cry"

Why do you cry?

Why do you cry?
Is it that the world has done you wrong, 
Or, have your wronged yourself?

Why do you cry?
Is it that love has failed you,
Or have you failed to love?

Why do you cry?
Is it worth the tears you shed?
Are the tears you shed worth it?
Do you know why you cry?
Or, do you cry because you don't know why?
Tell me,
Why do you cry?
If you can...
