Sign on the Cross

[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
