Real Men Cry Sometimes
Lyrics
Real Men Cry Sometimes
by
Sharon Hope Robinson
V1. Didn't you wanna cry when grandpa passed away?
I could see it in your eyes, the pain you felt that day.
But I was just a child and I didn't understand
why you shed no tears for the loss of that man.
Ch. 'Cause real men cry sometimes. No matter how hard they try
to hold all of the hurt inside. Don't be a prisoner of your pride.
'Cause real men cry sometimes.
V2. The day had finally come for children of your own.
But God had other plans. He needed them back home.
I finally saw you cry as you held them in your arms.
As tear streamed down your face, it tore me apart.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: Our mama's taught us how to love like this.
Don't hide away the sadness, just give in.

Reviews
Vocal recording levels set a bit too low. A little too much harmonizing in the verse. Solo voice would be more effective. Instrumental piano is ok, but needs more instruments and percussion. Would have worked better with guitar 'lead' record level set higher. Could use more background story development. Piano sounds a bit fuzzy.
Very contemporary sounding, my only recommendation is for the mix. The vocals are a little buried, especially in the first verse.
