Never Let The Bastards See You Cry
By Ronald Haselden
October 1, 2010

You're just young
And you're stronger than you realize
Take your time
And I promise one day you'll rise
Above all that's wrong

If you can do something about something, do it
And if you can't then you get through it
And hold your head high
Never let the bastard's see you cry
Hold your head high
Never let the bastard's see you cry
Never let the bastard's see you cry

Snakes in the grass
Slithering just out of view
Watch your step
And focus on that which is true
In present and past

If you can do something about something, do it
And if you can't then you get through it
And hold your head high
Never let the bastard's see you cry
Hold your head high
Never let the bastard's see you cry,
Never let the bastard's see you cry

I know you're good enough
And I know it's sometimes tough
When it seems the whole world
Is saying no, but...

Hold your head high
Never let the bastard's see you cry
Hold your head high
Never let the bastard's see you cry,
Never let the bastard's see you cry

I love it! You're a master composer Ron. Your music is so melodic and sweet on the ears. I love this unique melody when you start playing the piano notes over your rhythm. You play so many instruments and all of them so great,I marvel at that,I wish I could do that. :)) Great message in your song too,I love the folk pop feel kinda like Lennon's You've Git To Hide Your Love Away. You have a great sound,great vocals the music is full of warmth & original & fabulous! Keep rocking us buddy. :)

Hey Ron, Somehow I missed this. Musically, so enjoyable -fabulous vocals and instrumentation. And I love the theme and title. I may have said this before but, to my ear, much of your music sounds like it could be part of a musical, perhaps because the message is so clear and true. a great message, BTW, for musicians and anyone in showbiz. Wonderful work Ron, and have a great weekend, Karl

[CousinevonTanteA]
