Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song for my 23 year old son who had left home when he was 15.
Song Description
This song is much like joe cocker's "love, lift us up " or some of steve winwood's organ-oreiented work. It has that slow, determined feel that gives good r&b \ gospel its flavor.

Lyrics
4 IN THE MORNIN' \ IT CAME WITHOUT WARNIN'
A NEW SONG WAS BORN IN MY HEART
SURPRISED BY THE JOY \ LIKE A NEW BABY BOY
I REMEMBERED WHERE EVERYTHING STARTS
WHY DON'T YOU CRY OUTLOUD \ JUST CRY OUTLOUD
LET SOME JOY AND SOME PAIN FALL LIKE SWEET SUMMER RAIN
WHY DON'T YOU CRY OUTLOUD \ JUST CRY OUTLOUD
JUST LET YOURSELF \ LET THE TEARS GO \ LET YOURSELF KNOW
HOW YOU FEEL \ YOU CAN FEEL AGAIN
IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE YOU SANG A NEW SONG
DID YOU FORGET YOU BELONG IN THIS FAMILY?
IT'S TIME THAT YOU SEE THAT YOU WERE BORN TO BE FREE
TO POUR OUT YOUR HEART TO ME
THOSE THOUGH BREAKS MAKE US HARD AND HARD TIMES MAKE US TOUGH
WE LEARN HOW TO GUARD OUR EYES FROM THE WIND-BLOWN SAND
OH' BUT TEARS ARE ALWAYS SO PURE \ MAYBE THEY'RE MENT TO BE THE CURE
THAT CAN CARRY US BACK
BACK TO WHERE TIME BEGAN
YOU'RE NEVER ALONE \ YOU'RE NEVER FAR FROM HOME
YOUR SPIRIT WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES \ HAVE YOURSELF A GOOD CRY
AND YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF STARTING TO PRAY
