MAKE IT THROUGH
WITH LINDA DAVIS
WRITERS SKIP EWING, TIM MENSY
Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hot Where I break my back hauling endless rock For a man made God I really don't believe in I shoulder the rope and I bear the strain Wipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the pain Though I know when I fall Another whip is coming When I feel my body going down And there's nothing I can do I know if I keep my faith in you I'm gonna make it through I'm a prisoner here in this hall of kings I'm gold I'm jewels I'm a diamond ring To be given as a token of God's affection The law says I'm their property But my heart and my soul belong to me They can hold me but I'll never be in their possession When I feel my body going down And there's nothing I can do I know if I keep my faith in you I'm gonna make it through Through the doubt Give me strength to lead them out Give them faith to follow me Guide us through the sea So help me God I'm a common man With the lives of thousands in my hands As I carry them into the land you promised And when I feel my body going down And there's nothing I can do I know if I keep my faith in you I'm gonna make it through I know if I keep my faith in you We're gonna make it through
