Lyrics
This World Is A Puzzle
by Sue Terry
copyright 1995 Sweet Sue Music--BMI
(verse 1)
Oh, this world is a puzzle
Why some folks live with pleasure
Some with pain
Comfort me Lord
Comfort me Lord
The pleasure's come and gone
But the pain still lingers on
(chorus 1)
I never asked for nothin'
And nothin's all I got
Please let me pass this test
With one night's rest
(verse 2)
Oh, this world is a puzzle
Why some are born to live
And some to die
Comfort me Lord
Comfort me Lord
I'll die to pay a price
But please don't kill me twice
(chorus 2)
I never asked for nothin'
And nothin's all I got
So comfort me tonight
Please show me the light
(coda)
I never asked for nothin'
And nothin's all I got
So comfort me tonight
With a vision
A mission
A reason to fight
