Lyrics

Lord

Lord, don't pay me no mind Lord, if you choose in time Lord, don't pay me no mind I'll take another one and I'll be yours Lord, if you choose in time I'll be the child Lord, don't pay me no mind Lord, if you choose in time I'll be the child It's too late, too late I won't see you later If you fade, I'll fade Fading together Love is blind Her love is kind Her love is mine Her love is mine Love wants to give Hate wants the thrills Joy hates the pain But pain, we all need The pain we need to feel If wishes were horses Then beggars will ride This is my cross to bear This is my cross to bear This is my cross to bear This is my cross to bear Lord, don't pay me no mind I'll take another one and I'll be yours Lord, if you choose in time I'll be the child Lord, don't pay me no mind I'll take another one and I'll be yours Lord, if you choose in time I'll be the child While the government wants to control Our country will set you free
