There's no deals to be made with the dawn Now i fear that our time has come and gone They say freedom is just a place to hide Now i'm coming to you with my arms open wide (oh - won't you tell me) Where could i go to the lord Take a prayer with you to heaven for me Oh - and give it to the lord Give it to the lord Cause nothing else could save a sinner Sinner like me Oh - but an angel's word Just an angel's word Now - oh now - what is - what is too true What is hard is much too true Oh - and what's true oh - is much too too hard And now where - where could i go but to the lord Mama was hard on us but we could take it And papa didn't give a damn and he couldn't fake it They say freedom Oh - freedom is just an other place to hide Now i'm coming to you with my arms open wide (and tell me) Where could i go - oh - but to the lord
