[Verse 1]
Now, I try, oh so awf'ly strong[?]
And I just try to be
And I owe, and it's a high [?price]
But it's free
[Verse 2]
Yes, but I know in my head
That we are all so misled
And it's that old sign on the cross
That worries me
[Verse 3]
Now, when I was just a boy li' risin’ [?]
I saw what I wanted to be
And it's all for the sake
Of that I should see
But I was lost on the land
As I heard that front door slam
And that old sign on the cross
Worries me
[Chorus]
Well, it's that old sign on the cross
Well, it's that old key to the kingdom
Well, it's that old sign on the cross
Like you should be
[Verse 4]
But, when I hold my head so high
As I see my old friends go by
And it's still that sign on the cross
That worries me
[Verse 5]
Well, it seems to be the sign on the cross
Ev'ry day, ev'ry night, see the sign on the cross
Just layin' up on top of the hill
Yes, we thought it might have disappeared long ago
But I'm here to tell you, friends that I'm afraid
It's lyin' there still
Yes, just a little time is all you need, you might say, but I don't
Know 'bout that any more
Because the [?] you might want to enter it, but, of course, the door might be closed
And I just would like to tell you one time, if I don't see you again, that the thing is, that the sign on the cross is the thing you might need the most
[Chorus]
Yes, the sign on the cross
Is just the sign of [?] too
Well, there is some in any prison
And there is some in the [?] too
[Verse 6]
Oh, when your, when your days are numbered
And your nights are long
You might think you're weak
But I mean to say you're strong
Yes you are, if that sign on the cross
If it begins to worry you
Well, that's all right, you just sing a song
And all your troubles pass right on through
