[Intro]
Don't cry anymore
Don't cry, don't cry anymore

[Chorus]
Don't you run and cry
Don't run and cry anymore
Don't you run and cry
Don't you run and cry anymore

[Verse 1]
Just because you ain't got nothin
Just because you can't find nothin
Maybe you cannot find no one
Oh, you can depend on

[Chorus]
Don't you run and cry
Wipe those tears from your weeping eyes
Don't you run and cry
Wipe those tears from your weeping eyes

[Verse 2]
There must be a change one day
So, don't you run and cry anymore
Things cannot go the same way
There must be a change one day
But, just pray to God, and you will surely survive
Please stop your running and crying
And wipe those tears from your eyes, I say
[Chorus]
Don't run and cry
Don't you run and cry anymore
Don't you run and cry
Don't you run and cry anymore
Don't you run and cry
Don't you run and cry anymore

[Verse 3]
All of my brothers and sisters
Who are really feeling it hard
Just put yourself in the lord
I know you could never find it hard
If you tell me you really find it hard
Then you ain't got no God at all
So, stop your running and crying
Wipe those tears from your eyes, I say (Ah-yah-yah-yah yen)

[Outro]
Stop your running and crying
Wipe your weeping eyes
Don't you run and cry
God will show you the way
Don't you run, don't you cry
Jah Jah will show you the way
