Lay Back The Darkness - Kate Campbell

How many times

Have i stood

By the river

And could not see

To the other side

Hoping like moses

The clouds

Would be lifted

Stretch out my hand

The waters divide

Lay back the darkness

Let in the light

Take all the wrongs

Make them all right

And if i could

Lay down these blues

For good

For so long i’m standing

Alone at the crossroad

Praying for someone

To give me a ride

Watching as slowly

Shadows come crawling

But nobody knows me

They all pass me by

We’re all

Born to trouble

In troubling times

This world has a way

Of wearing us down

But the earth

Keeps on turning

Night turns to day

And every new morning

Mercies come round
