Darkness all around, it's easy to see the light
When it's darkness all around
it's easier to see the light
Like when the sun comes up
its power destroys the night

When you wake up in the morning
shake your weary head
When you wake up in the morning
you shake your weary head
You ought to talk to the father before
you get out of bed

Well a problem that you have is not knowing

Man is born in trouble, it stays until he dies
Man is born in trouble, it stays until he dies
If he's patient and forgiving
it reflects in his life

Where goes the strength of man
it comes and it's gone
Where goes the strength of man
it comes and then it's gone
You lay him in the ground but his spirit lingers on

What is it in your life that seems so worthwhile
What makes you happy, what makes you smile
Is there a special person that you're leaning t'ward
Even if you're alone you've got the Lord

A problem that we have
is we don't know what to do
Yeah sometimes
Well a problem we can have
is not knowing always what to do
We stumble and fall but God is gonna get us through

What profits a man to gain the world
and lose his soul
What profits a man to gain the world
and lose his soul
He takes nothing with him and the grave
can be so cold

Will you rise up laughing on the resurrection day
Will you rise up laughing on the resurrection day
Or will you stand at the throne
wishing you had learned to pray

So listen to these words
these are things to ponder on, yeah
Listen to my words
he wants you these things to ponder upon
'Cos you won't hear me singing
when I am dead and gone

How does a man find out why he is here
How can a man find out why he is here
Who knows the value of a circle
then you make its meaning clear

When there's darkness all around
you reach out t'ward the light
When there's darkness in the world
people reach out t'ward the light
Yeah when the son comes back
his power will destroy the night

Huh huh yeah he-heah
​Ow
