[Verse] In a one-light town where the fields stretch wide, A fella stood tall, tried hard to hide, But when tears fell down, he didn't turn away, 'Cause a heart that's open, ain't afraid to sway. [Verse 2] The folks at the bar, said he's strong as steel, But even the mighty feel the things they feel, He let those tears flow under neon glow, It was the bravest thing this town would know. [Chorus] It takes a big man to cry, to let it show, But it's harder to laugh at the tears that flow, 'Cause deep in the soul where the truth rings clear, It takes even more to face your fear. [Verse 3] He walked through the fields, where the wildflowers grow, With a mind so heavy, and a heart that knows, That life ain't easy, but you carry on, And sometimes sorrow makes you just as strong. [Verse 4] Neighbors would whisper, they'd shake their heads, But they'd never walked in the shoes he tread, And when he smiled through the pain and strife, You'd see the beauty of a well-lived life. [Bridge] Underneath the moon, with a quiet grace, He'd laugh at himself and the tears he'd face, For In a world so big, with so much to give, It takes a brave heart to cry and forgive.
