Another one of the last songs written for Mindsize, it became our first real single (though 'More' was the first official single, it was not promoted as such). Within a few weeks, Cruciality hit #1 on one of the popular Christian charts. During a show in Irvine, CA, our record label presented us with a plaque to commemorate the event.      'Cruciality' was one of the few pseudo "politically-minded" songs that we had. The intent of the song was not to put anyone down, however, but show that our focus needs to be set upon our walk with the Lord, and sharing His love with those around us. When we focus on outside issues, such as environmentalism, we risk taking our eyes off of the Most Important One. Are these issues bad? No. Not necessarily, but Jesus needs to be the focus.          Inside my selfish thinking   In the middle I'm always sinking   I am so far down I can't escape      But all around the trees are falling   Too much sunshine comes in   And so I wait another day      What is brightest in my life   And what will I receive (tomorrow)   If I'm Spirit filled will I be so content (so content with sorrow)   Crucial is my mind on Christ   So much He had to (He had to die)      Buildings empty, standing tall   Precious people breathe and fall   What will you have when all is thru?      Or maybe then I save the sea   For other people after me   Instead I am never living now      Turn my eyes and to the stars   Is there life so very far?   Or better is there any very near      It is this so understand me   Christ gave so we can be free   And will I wait another day      Is this love?   Is this life?      This world's already gone   This world needs the Son   But we have so many things to do?      And so enough of flower power   Step on ways that make us sour   We cannot wait another day.
