You Did That for Me
Liberation in Melody: Unveiling the Profound Meaning of 'You Did That for Me'
Lyrics
I don't have to cry anymore
I no longer need to experience sadness and tears.
I don't have to worry about what's in store
I don't have to be anxious about what the future holds.
I've walked that road exhausted and poor
I've been through difficult times, exhausted and financially struggling.
I don't have to cry anymore
No more need to cry.
And I don't have to know it all
I don't need to have all the answers.
I don't have to be so proud and stand so tall
No need to be overly proud or boastful.
I climbed that mountain only to fall
I faced challenges and setbacks after achieving something significant.
I don't have to know it all
I don't need to understand everything.
