The stress of everyday life
Can really get to you
There are obstacles and barriers
You need to break through
It can be way too much
And you feel you’re not strong enough
Try to keep your emotions intact
When the going gets tough
Remember this

Don’t cry when you’re sad
Don’t yell when you’re mad
‘Cause you know emotions can bring you down
Oh, Oh
Be strong through the tough times
Be happy even when you’re not
‘Cause even though this road gets bumpy I know
You don’t have to cry every time

Sometimes things just don’t go your way
And you decide to take all the blame
Some people act as if they don’t care at all
And you try to mask the pain
Know you are not alone in this world
And that you have a powerful voice
To let your emotions out or to keep them in
Comes down to your own choice
Just remember this

Don’t cry when you’re sad
Don’t yell when you’re mad
‘Cause you know emotions can bring you down
Oh, Oh
Be strong through the tough times
Be happy even when you’re not
‘Cause even though this road gets bumpy I know
You don’t have to cry every time

Love is dangerous with all your emotions running wild
You need to slow down once in a while
Forget about your worries and fears
And face the day with a smile
Your emotions don’t have to control you
But think about this before you do

Don’t cry when you’re sad
Don’t yell when you’re mad
‘Cause you know emotions can bring you down
Oh, Oh
Be strong through the tough times
Be happy even when you’re not
‘Cause even though this road gets bumpy I know
You don’t have to cry every time
