She wakes up days life is cruel She's on a gang sittin' in a typin' pool And her feels all dragged down
The gossip flies, the coffee's She wants to run outside and scream hell it turns her luck around
Doesn't matter how insane it She's got one and her sights set, she says
"I'm just for it I'm makin' sure that my heart's steady as a drum Brighter days are My faith's strong and I'll be ready when it comes"
He drives the block a thousand times He go home 'til he clears his mind And his supper's by now
The words crash through his ears About a plan and a lot of years He will live to see
He all his friends and family He says, "Wrap your lovin' around me"
I know, I can do Love will get me through this, my heart's steady as a days are dawnin' My faith's holding strong, and be ready when it comes
(When it comes) One light shinin' that is brighter the sun (When it comes) Way down deep the heart of everyone (When it comes) I reach past my for the strength to carry on (When it comes) And that what I need was right there all along
I'm waitin' for it I'm just makin' sure that my steady as a drum days are dawnin' My faith's holdin' strong, I'll be ready it comes
Yes, I will, gonna be ready now, yeah, I'm gonna be now it comes, when it comes, my faith is holdin' strong Brighter days are dawnin', my faith is holdin' I'm be ready when it comes
