Kate Campbell - Lay Back The Darkness lyrics

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 pa** 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
