I wrote this song a few years ago when things were very difficult. I had most of the song done but couldn't come up with a second verse or bridge lyric. I sent it to my friend and brother in law, Jack Carone in California, and a couple of days later, he sent back the most beautiful second verse and bridge I could have ever asked for. This song would not be on this record if it wasn't for his contribution.
lyrics
Sun comes up, sun goes down
Nothing ever seems to change in this sleepy little town
Bills aren’t paid, mortgage gets behind
Feelin like youre going crazy
Cuz it’s always on your mind
Just open your eyes
Cuz it’s time that you realize
When you’re tired of holding on
And you think you can’t move on
Remember help is on the way
He’s right beside you every day
In the darkness of the night
He’ll be your candle burnin bright
So hold a little longer Just have to let Him in
And let Jesus be your friend
Days roll in, years run out
When they’re gone they’re gone forever
Did you ever work it out?
Friends will come, some may go
Well you say you know them well
Tell me do you really know..
The one you can count on
Just one you can bet your life on
When you’re tired of holding on
And you think you can’t move on
Remember help is on the way
He’s right beside you every day
In the darkness of the night
He’ll be your candle burnin bright
So hold a little longer Just have to let Him in
And let Jesus be your friend
We’ll He isn’t far away, you can run to Him today
It’s an easy thing to do, and it’s all He’s asking you
You got to step into the light, and believe that it’s alright
When you’re tired of holding on
And you think you can’t move on
Remember help is on the way
He’s right beside you every day
In the darkness of the night
He’ll be your candle burnin bright
So hold a little longer Just have to let Him in
And let Jesus be your friend
