Lyrics
I see it rising in the distance
I hear it rumble down the lane,
close my eyes and pray for comfort
oh, Lord, hear it comes again...here it comes
Had a mind for all the trouble
had a heart that would withstand
but like a summer storm on Sunday,
got so dark across the land
*Hush now baby don't you weep this too will pass someday
just lay you down to sleep the wind will blow away
the stars are promises that no cold night won't keep
Its all still beautiful, still beautiful
Baby hold on to me somehow
don't have the strength to stand alone,
so Jesus place your hands upon me, Mother Mary guide me home...*
I know we all will meet the maker,
Each moment comes, another gone,
I pray these voices call on someone else today
my little babies need me strong....
