Forget all the stuff you've heard about Faith Hill turning her back on country -- she hasn't been the woman who sang "Wild One" for years, so expecting her to suddenly turn into Tammy Wynette is a waste of time.

Hill may have left that part of her career and her sound behind, but Cry shows her developing a new voice, probably her true voice. Hinted at on Faith and Breathe, it's a voice that owes more to the gospel roots of her youth than her early desire to be Mississippi's answer to Reba McEntire. Cry is a more serious-sounding effort than Hill's previous discs -- there's nothing as flirty as "This Kiss," nothing as goofy as "Bringing Out the Elvis." Cry is Hill's bid for real, lasting diva-hood, and she's not about to let anybody mistake it for anything less.

To that end, a good portion of Cry consists of the kind of power ballads Heart might be recording today. But on the best cuts - "Unsaveable," "If You're Gonna Fly Away," "Stronger" - that gospel influence is obvious, though not overstated. Sometimes, as on "This Is Me," she brings both of her sides together. To anybody that isn't wrapped up in false expectations, the results are pretty impressive.

A distillation of Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Amy Grant, minus their eccentricities and humor, Faith Hill sings most songs as if she's aiming to win American Idol. Still, she's an expert in the yelps and sighs that signify pop passion, and what she lacks in personality she makes up for with power, professionalism and unfailing hooks. Mrs. Tim McGraw conveys drama without embodying it.

Cry aims to keep the hits coming while widening her range even further beyond her Nashville beginnings. Between the Bon Jovi-ish ballads and Britney-esque beats are studio quirks that ma-terialize for a few hip moments before getting out of the way of Hill's smooth bellow. "I Think I Will" begins with Middle Eastern percussion and string instruments, while "Beautiful" encircles a slow-burning guitar solo evocative of classic Pink Floyd. Yet Cry remains contrived, an album of crocodile tears from an entertainer who can sing anything but often means nothing.

FREE

I had it tough when i was just a little kid
It didn't matter what i thought
It didn't matter what i did

I felt the doubt for what i lacked
Right from the start
It did a number on my head
But it could never touch my heart

Cause i had just enough imagination
Just enough to keep the faith
That somehow i would think of what to do

When i get lost in a momentary weakness of emotion
Honey angels came around to help me through

Life pulls fast changes
Winds blows past pages
All i see is i don't need this
High-strung tight rope walk
Ticking time bomb clock
Scratch my name
Cut these chains
I'm free
Kicking out of that prison
I am free
Singing those words of wisdom
Let it be
Nobody gonna put the blues inside of me

I've been stressed to be the best, i've done it all
I've slammed the doors, i've jammed the locks
I've paved the bricks, i've built the wall
No one could tell me back then
What joy eluded me
Kept bumping into that misery
Locked up deep down inside of me

Took that rage and i
Turned that page and i
Packed my tools, went back to school
Yeah, and i passed my graduation
And i hold my PhD in
Crash test loser, paid those dues

I'm free
Kicking out of that prison
I am free
Singing those words of wisdom
Let it be
Nobody gonna put those blues inside of me

Time flies by in photographs
And paper scraps and songs
Here i stand in ruby slippers
Three taps take me home

I'm free
I'm free
I'm free
Kicking out of that prison
I am free
Singing those words of wisdom
Let it be (let it be!)
Nobody gonna put the blues inside of me
Oh yeah, i am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free

Time flies by in photographs
And paper scraps and songs
Here i stand in ruby slippers
Three taps take me home

I'm free
I'm free
I'm free

Yeah, I'm free
Free


CRY

If I had just one tear running down your cheek
Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep
If I had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now I'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me

If your love could be caged, honey. I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath that pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine

And you'd cry a little
You'd die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave now from wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me

Give it up baby
A whimper would be fine
Some kind of clue that
You're doing time
Some kind of heartache
Honey give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine


ONE

I tried with all my might but still don't understand
Why we ever let it get so out of hand
My arms are reaching out and holding on tight
To what has always felt so right

It's hard to figure out the answers to the questions
When both our lives are going in separate directions

One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it, do you?
I thought, we had all the love
To go it for the long run
So before that damage is done
Let's start back over at one

Lights out, when every evening used to get so hot
Now, we got so damn distracted we forgot how
To lock the world away and just get lost in
Where you end and where i began
Love is wrong when it's so easy to divide
So boy let's make a vow
How much is on the line

One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it, do you?
Do you?
I thought, we had all the love
To go it for the long run
So before that damage is done
Let's start back over at one

One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it, do you?
Do you?
I thought, we had all the love
To go it for the long run
So before that damage is done
Let's start back over at

One is breaking into two
And my heart is turning blue
And you still don't get it, do you?
Do you?
I thought, we had all the love
To go it for the long run
But before that damage is done
Let's start back over at one


WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN

When the lights go down
He'll be filling a pan
With a broom in his hand
In some dive across town
He'll be wiping the bar
And mopping the floor
Counting his tips
And locking the doors
Wrestling the devil that tells him to pour
Another round
When the lights go down

She'll be calling her friends
From a mercedes-benz
But it's too late now
They were there for the fame, the flash and the thrill
The drop of the name, the parties, the pills
As another star falls from the hollywood hills
Without a sound

When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul
And wonder what you're made of
Well, we all find out
When the lights go down

When the lights go down
At the end of the day
With this game that i play
Has gone another round
As i lay there alone in this big empty bed
Nothing but thoughts of you in my head
I think of the things i wish i had said
When you were still around

When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
And i wonder if all my life's about
The sum of all my fears and all my doubts
When the lights go down

When the lights go down
And there's nothing left to be
When the lights go down
And the truth is all you see
When you feel that hole inside your soul
And wonder what you're made of
Well, we all find out
When the lights go down


BEAUTIFUL

I love the way you stand in my way
You won't move 'til you get a kiss
And how you tell me that
My name tastes so sweet on your lips
I love the way you hold me with your eyes
Hold me so tight that i can't move
It's like everything i've ever known is a lie
And you're the simple truth

Is it a dream
Or is it real?
All i know is
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
You make me feel so
Beautiful

I love how soft you touch my skin
Like you're touching the wings of a butterfly
I wish we could just lock ourselves away in a room
Where there was no such thing as time
I've never let anyone get this close
I've always been afraid
But you break down every wall and yet i feel so safe

Every part of who i am
Is so in love cause what i have is beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
You make me feel so beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful


UNSAVEABLE

A love so cruel
Yeah, that's all that i got from you
Tell me what in the world could i do
But leave after all that you've done to me
Now it's so easy to say
I'm over you

Cause baby i loved you
A little too hard
A little long
What i thought was right was way too wrong
And too far gone
I can't bring back the love
That just ain't enough
Unavailable, impossible, unsaveable

Here you come
Trying to make up for what you've done
It's too late to say you're sorry now
Now it's your turn
Oh you can't cross that bridge you burned
You're on your own
When will you learn

Cause baby i cried
A little too hard
A little long
What I thought was right was way too wrong
And too far gone
I can't bring back the love
That just ain't enough
Unavailable, impossible, unsaveable

There's someone out there for me
Who thinks i'm beautiful
I've got to go
Baby i tried, i tried
Baby i tried

Cause baby i cried
A little too hard
A little long
What I thought was right was way too wrong
And too far gone
I can't bring back the love
That just ain't enough
Unavailable, impossible, unsaveable


BABY YOU BELONG

There's a reason why
You can look up every night
And every star in heaven's in it's place
There's a reason why
The full moon pulls the tide
And the waves roll into a shore that always waits

And just like them
Baby you belong
Baby you belong
Nothin's ever been so meant to be
Or ever felt so right to me
Every single part of me believes
Baby you belong
Oh baby you belong
There really is no mystery
I think anyone can see
That baby you belong
With me

There's a voice inside
And i heard it promise me
When you came along
Id know you by heart
Like a familiar song
Every word is telling me
That the time has finally come
Now here you are

And i know for sure
Oh, baby you belong
Baby you belong
Nothin's ever been so meant to be
Or ever felt so right to me
Every single part of me believes
Baby you belong
Oh, baby you belong
There really is no mystery
I think anyone can see
That baby you belong

Like the sun belongs up in the morning sky
And for at least another million reasons why

Baby you belong
Oh, baby you belong
Nothin's ever been so meant to be
Or ever felt so right to me

Baby you belong
Oh, baby you belong
Nothin's ever been so meant to be
Or ever felt so right to me
Every single part of me believes that
Baby you belong
Oh baby, baby, baby you belong
There really is no mystery
I think anyone can see
That baby you belong
With me

Baby you belong with me


IF YOU'RE GONNA FLY AWAY

If you're gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere
I need you babe

Has the sun gone down on you
Have you given up on true love
I wish i could say all the right things
To make your pain go away

I wish you knew
How beautiful you are
In every way
When the world is falling down
Just kneel with me and pray

If you're gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere
I need you babe
If you're gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you

So you'll take a thousand pills
Hopin' to be numb
Lie awake in bed
Countin' all that's wrong
No one understands
No one ever will
Trust me when i tell ya
I know just how you feel

You had all these dreams
But your small town
Oh, they killed them for you
You had nothing else to do
But use and use and use and use and use

If you're gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere
I need you babe
If you're gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you

Just sing a song for me baby
It's not as bad as it seems
What matters today, won't matter tomorrow
Count all your blessings
Instead of all your sorrow

If you're gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
Don't go nowhere
I need you babe
If you're gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you

If you're gonna fly away
If you're gonna leave this place
Take me with you
I could never live without you

If you're gonna fly away
Don't fly without me
I need ya


STRONGER

This is the window to my heart
I just want you to be for real
There ain't no freedom where we are
There ain't no wishes in these stars
Ain't no reason to believe

But don't worry baby
Don't you worry
Baby this is what we need
A little bruise and a little bleeding
Some space that we can breathe in
Some silence in between

So cry for me baby
And i'll cry for you
And we'll both break down
And we'll both break through
And find our way to face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
And wake up with our sad regrets
And even though we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger

I can't believe you're really gone, now
But i know it's for the best
And i know that we weren't right
But i still reach for you each night
And man, that hurts like hell

So cry for me baby
And i'll cry for you
And we'll both break down
And we'll both break through
And find our way to face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
And wake up with our sad regrets
And even though we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger

So baby
So cry for me baby
And i'll cry for you
And we'll both break down
And we'll both break through
And find our way and we'll face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we'll lie down in our loneliness
And wake up with our sad, sad regrets
Even though we don't know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger

This is the window to my heart
I just want us to be for real
Baby i'm sorry for the way things are
Goodbye is always hard
But we both will be stronger


IF THIS IS THE END

Our love's the moon
Our love's the kingdom come
Our love's the flame
Our love's the will be done

Our love's the jewel
The diamond in the rough
But you don't want it
You don't want to take

If this is the end
I don't want to know this time
If this is the end
I don't want to go this time
If this is the end

Our love is true
Our love's the rising sun
Our love is new
Our love is just begun

Our love is proof
Of what was yet to come
But you don't want it
You don't want to take

If this is the end
I don't want to know this time
If this is the end
I don't want to go this time
If this is the end

It was so easy
We were so young
It's only natural
To come undone
At the end of this evening
Before the rise of the sun
You're coming with me
You're coming with me

If this is the end
I don't want to know this time
If this is the end
I don't want to go this time

If this is the end
I don't want to know
I just want you by my side
If this is the end
I don't want to know
I just want you by my side


THIS IS ME

Yeah, i have my addictions
I keep my share of secrets
And things you'll never see
I get selfish and offensive
And pay too much attention
To my insecurities

Oh, i, i'm just like everybody else
I try to love jesus and myself
I don't know what you believe
Or what you think of what you see
But this is a part of me
Of what i do and who i am
All of my impurities
Are right here on my sleeve
This is me
Yeah, this is me

Yes, my heart breaks for the homeless
I worry about my parents
And all my bills are late
Yeah, i, i'm dealing with the changes
In this complicated strangeness
Of seeing life this way

Oh, i, i'm just like everybody else
I try, lord i try, to love jesus and myself
I don't know what you believe
Or what you think of what you see
But this is a part of me
Of what i do and who i am
All of my impurities
Are right here on my sleeve
This is me
Yeah, this is me

I laugh at silly movies
Tear up when i see babies
And i'm stubborn as a stone
Yeah, i, i criticize my body
I wonder if i'm ready to ever be alone

No, i, i'm just like everybody else
I cry, yes i cry, just like everybody else
I don't know what you believe
Or what you think of what you see
But this is a part of me
Of what i do and who i am
All of my impurities
Are right here on my sleeve
This is me
Oh, this is me

Oh, this is me, yeah
I'm gonna celebrate it
I'm gonna celebrate it
Don't be afraid of who you are
Celebrate who you are
What you do, what you feel, what you see
Who you are
Celebrate, celebrate
Yeah, this is me
I'm not afraid
I'm not ashamed
This is me


BACK TO YOU

I lie in bed and watch the shadows
Dancing across the wall
Nothin' to do but think of you
And count the tears that fall
Oh how i wish it was real
I wish i could feel you holding me close
The only thing i know for certain
Is i should have never let you go

I would walk the world
I'd cross the sea
I'd journey beyond the moon
I'd try anything, go anywhere
To find my way back to you

I still don't understand the reason
I think i was just afraid
All i can do is face the truth
And deal with the mess that i made
Now all i want is a chance to take it back
Than go like this
Cause ever since we said goodbye i've been lost
In all of this

I would walk the world
I'd cross the sea
I'd journey beyond the moon
I'd try anything, go anywhere
To find my way back to you

Now baby, i was wrong
Now that you're gone
The only thing left to do
Is spend every day, try every way
To find my way back to you

I know that i was a fool to push you away
And if you let me back in your life
Baby, i swear on my heart
In your arms i will stay

I would walk the world
I'd cross the sea
I'd journey beyond the moon
I'd try anything, go anywhere
To find my way back to you

Now baby, i was wrong
Now that you're gone
The only thing left to do
Is spend every day, try every way
To find my way back to you

I would walk the world
I'd cross the sea
I'd try anything, go anywhere
Now baby, i was wrong
Now that you're gone
Is spend every day, try every way

Baby i'm gonna find my way back to you
Right to you


I THINK I WILL

What would you say if i said something strange
That made a difference in how you feel
What would you do if i did something out of the blue
That made the world a better place
Oh i think i will

Gonna change, 'for i break
Gonna take your heartache
And make it mine this time
Oh i, i think i will
I'm gonna run, til i find
Another way to make you mine in time
Oh i, I think i will

What would you give if i gave you everything
And asked for nothing, how would you feel?
What would you think if i thought about doing something good
Yeah, just to make you smile
Oh i think i will

Gonna change, 'for i break
Gonna take your heartache
And make it mine this time
Oh i, i think i will
Oh, i'm gonna run, til i find
Another way to make you mine in time
Oh i, i think i will

Takin' it slow, the further i go
The more i know i think i will
The longer i'm there, the stronger i dare
I'm positive, i think i will

Takin' it slow, the further i go
The more i know i think i will
The longer i'm there, the stronger i dare
I'm positive, i think i will

Gonna take your heartache
And make it mine this time
Oh i, i think i will
I'm gonna run, til i find
Another way to make you mine in time
Oh i, i think i will


YOU'RE STILL HERE

Thought i saw you today
You were standing in the sun
And you turned away
And i knew it couldn't be
But my heart believed

Oh it seems like there's something everyday
How could you be so far away
When you're still here
When i need you, you're not hard to find
You're still here
I can see you in my baby's eyes
And the laugh and cry
You're stil here

Had a dream last night
That you came to me
On silver wings and light
I flew away with you
In the painless sky
And i woke up wondering
What was real
Is it what you see and touch
Or what you feel?

Cause you're still here
Oh you're everywhere we've ever been
You're still here
I heard you in a stranger's laugh
And i hung around to hear him laugh again
Just once again

Thought i saw you today
You were standing in the sun
And you turned away

Away
