Another song that had been recorded previously, it first appeared on our 1992 independent release, Star-Studded-Super-Step. Sometimes Cry was a fairly popular song in concert, partially because of the catchy chorus. The original recording featured an ending that literally fell apart with drum beats, guitars, and percussion going all over the place. This was accomplished with the original 8-track recorders 'SEL-REP' buttons, as they were called. Essentially, it allowed some tracks to be read from the play heads, while the other tracks were read from the recording heads. The Mindsize version featured a similar 'breakdown' at the end.



Lyrically this song focuses on the refuge that we have in the Lord. It also focuses on the work that we have to do to find that refuge in Him. The song is summed up in the chorus, "Run away, Far away, To Yahweh, He's my hideway". Nick was kind enough to point out that the chorus rhymed "away" 3 times. I hadn't noticed, I guess, .... and I was pretty stoked. 





Don't delay for a minute

Cause if you do I'll know you're too far into it

I mean the world around us

The world around



To keep your head above water

To be humble amidst tears and laughter

Sometimes we need to hide

Sometimes cry



Run away

Far away

To Yahweh

He's my hideaway



Star-studded-super-step

You've turned around again

Well I can feel it inside

In His side



And I'll tell you what He sees

But first I must fall down on my own knees

Let me hold your hand

Holding our hands



I need to lower my head

I don't know if I can

I've been so lost

I don't know if I can

I really have to fall

I don't know if I can

I'll say it again

I don't know if I can



And now we're losing time

No, we can't say we never got a sign

The love is all around us

And it surrounds us
