Activity 4 :

One of my favorite song :

One Last Cry - Brian McKnight

The meaning of the song is :

One last cry means crying until your tears are dry releasing all the pain but deciding to try not to hold back and set yourself free from the oozing pain for the last time. Of course, this is not an easy task – this I am sure won't be easy, but every suffering has its end, and if there is no decision to begin, there can never be an ultimate end.
