Sometimes When I Wake Up

• Sometimes when I wake up
• and face another day
• I feel like turning over
• and hope it goes away

• some days have more heartache
• than I really need
• tears begin to flow again
• and I begin to dream

• and I dream of a time
• far away, in my mind
• no more sadness, no more pain
• so much love, all in vain
• and I dream of a place my Lord
• where I won't cry no more

• sometimes when I'm feeling down
• and I'm on my own
• can't find a caring heart
• guess I walk alone

• I keep looking for someone
• and never understand
• the love that I've been looking for
• lies in another land

• and I dream of a time
• far away, in my mind
• no more sadness, no more pain
• so much love, all in vain
• and I dream of a place my Lord
• where I won't cry no more

• sometimes when I look around
• and open up my eyes
• just to see the way we live
• I have to wonder why

• children die in their mothers arms
• old men walk the streets
• girls who will sell their souls
• the hymn doesn't miss a beat

• and I dream of a time
• far away, in my mind
• no more sadness, no more pain
• too much love, all in vain
• and I dream of a place my Lord
• where I won't cry no more
• is there such a place my Lord?
