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
