Bone tired, world-weary Someday I'll lay my burden down Then I'll walk where angels talk And stand on sacred ground All my life I've been waiting to see Bone tired, world-weary Got my eyes on Eternity I met a man, he was walking Down this long and lonesome road He said, "I have a heavy pack upon my back And no way to lighten the load I don't know where I'm going But I sure know where I've been I work all day and half the night Get up and do it all again" I saw a woman with her head bowed down She had fallen to her knees All alone in a church of stone Begging, "Lord, please Have mercy, give me The strength to carry on 'Cause sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel Like I'm already dead and gone"
