We all who are livin'
Seek a reason for bein'
From early youth we search for truth
To justify our lives
And we live in fear each night
That we won't see the morning sunlight
So we become a Sunday people
Who crowd beneath that steeple
And search our hearts for answers
We hope someday we'll find
Yet a simple prayer rests your weary soul
And ease your troubled mind
Simply by sayin'
Lord forgive me
help to make me strong
I've a will to live
But it's almost dawn
And I don't want for nothin'
That I lost along the way
I just want to take my sorrows
For the good side of tomorrow today
We are all rapidly aging
And our eyes are quickly fading
And rushing to a destiny
We could long ago forsee
Yet each of us must decide
Is this all there is to life
And will I find my place in eternity
Simply by sayin'
Lord forgive me
help to make me strong
I've a will to live
But it's almost dawn
And I don't want for nothin'
That I lost along the way
Well I just want to take my sorrows
For the good side of tomorrow today
I just wanna take my sorrows
for the good side of tomorrow today.
