Make It Through

Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hot
Where I break my back hauling endless rock
For a man made God
I really dont believe in
I shoulder the rope and I bear the strain
Wipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the pain
Though I know when I fall
Another whip is coming.

[Chorus:]
When I feel my body going down
And theres nothing I can do
I know if I keep my faith in you
Im gonna make it through.

Im a prisoner here in this hall of kings
Im gold Im jewels Im a diamond ring
To be given as a token of Gods affection
The law says Im their property
But my heart and my soul belong to me
They can hold me but Ill never be in their possession.

[Chorus]

Through the doubt
Give me strength to lead them out
Give them faith to follow me
Guide us through the sea.

So help me God Im a common man
With the lives of thousands in my hands
As I carry them into the land you promised.

[Chorus]

I know if I keep my faith in you
Were gonna make it through.
