Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eric Gale's "Oh! Mary Don't You Weep" contain several religious metaphors and allusions to events in the Bible. The song begins with the repeated line, "Oh Mary, don't you weep, don't you mourn," which is a reference to the biblical story of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, weeping at the death of her brother. The following line, "Pharaoh's army got drowned," references the story of Moses parting the Red Sea and leading the Israelites to safety while Pharaoh's army was drowned.


The second verse describes Mary wearing three links of chain, each of which bears the name of Jesus. This is a metaphor for the strength and protection that comes from having faith in Jesus. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the importance of not mourning in times of trouble, as God will take care of those who have faith.


The third verse references God's covenant with Noah after the flood, in which he promised that he would never again destroy the world with water. Instead, he would use fire. This verse suggests that though God promises not to use water, he may use other elements to cleanse the world of sin. The final verse speaks of the end of the world, when the Earth will shake and rock. This is a reference to the biblical apocalypse, which is said to be preceded by great upheaval.


Overall, the lyrics of "Oh! Mary Don't You Weep" are meant to be a message of hope and faith, even in the face of great adversity. The song uses religious imagery to suggest that God is always watching over his believers and will protect them from harm.

"Sometimes I Cry"

[Verse 1]
Two years since you walked away from me
Since all of our scattered dreams
Were just thrown away
I'm finally gettin back to what I used to be
Share my pain with my family
Think I'm on my way

I can sleep at night,
I don't reach for you when I wake up
But it's taken some time
I can live my life
Without praying that we could make up
I'm movin on, I'm feeling strong inside

[Chorus 1]
But sometimes I cry, babe
When I'm all alone
With this heart of mine
Sometimes I cry, babe
Although you've been gone
For a long, long time

[Verse 2]
Heard you're moving in with someone new
I hope all your dreams come true
And you'll both be happy, yeah

Been long enough for me to take a look around
I've met a girl, we've been hangin out
She's been good for me

But when we're makin love
She don't take me there like you used to
And it hurts when I lie (when I lie baby)
Help me understand how to push you out,
Forget you and let you go,
Cuz Lord knows I've tried, yeah

[Chorus 2]
But sometimes I cry, babe
Been at all that hurtin
For a long, long time (yes, I have babe)
Sometimes I cry, babe
Ain't nothin workin
For this pain of mine

[Bridge]
I'll just have to fake it
Until I can make it
There's a smile on my face, yeah
But I'm broken inside

I always say, If men weren't meant to cry, then God wouldn't have gave us the ability to do so. Sadness is a very real emotion and there's absolutely nothing wrong with shedding a tear every now and then. No matter what society or anyone says.

Very beautiful and true!
