Sign On The Cross

Lyrics

Now I try oh so awfully long and I just try to be And now, oh it's so fine but it's free Yes but I know in my head that we're all so misled And it's that old sign on the cross that worries me Now when I was just a bawling child, I saw what I wanted to be And it's all for the sake of that picture I should see But I was lost on the land as I heard that front door slam And it's that, that sign on the cross that worries me Well it's that old sign on the cross, well it's that old key to the kingdom Well it's that old sign on the cross like it used to be But when I hold my head up high as I see my old friends go by And it's still that sign on the cross that worries me Well that sign on the cross, just a sign on the cross Well that sign is everybody's love and that sign is in the penitentiary too Oh when your days are numbered and your nights are long You might think you're weak but I mean to say you're strong Yes if that sign on the cross, if it begins to worry you That's all right, sing a song and all your troubles will pass on through Oh that sign, oh that sign Well that sign is in every prison and that sign is in the penitentiary too Oh when your days are numbered and your nights are long You might think you're weak, you might think you're weak But I mean to say you're strong Oh if that sign on the cross, if it begins to worry you That's all right, sing a song, yeah And all your troubles will pass right on through
