Linda Davis lyrics Make It Through

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
