Discover the story of the song > Everybody Cries – Rita Wilson

The lyrics talk about how everybody cries and dies, and how it's a truth that unites us all. The protagonist talks about taking a lonely path to the edge of man, wondering why we must sometimes endure fear and pain, and who will be the last to die or remain in a world filled with empires crying and only God and pain. The lyrics suggest that only those who have passed away can truly tell us why we're on this journey through life, and that when we finally reach the edge of man and make our final stand, there will be nowhere left to pray except in the face of God and pain.
