When ev'rything's in place and ev'rybody's free Gonna sit right down and wonder why this happened to me I got troubles on my mind on the table blessed at night They always here to bear and evermore to share No matter who I am No one will understand The same man works to live within a bigger plan The sun's one winkin' eye the devil beats his wife The whippin' cracklin' rain will stain the days ahead Lovin' to be loved givin' will not take Away my holdin' hand upon your heart in place Faith must be my job spendin' wasted dreams On ev'rything in place and ev'rybody free
