As the sparks fly upward As the sparks fly upward I was born to trouble Born to trouble Everyone born of woman only has a few days They are full of trouble Trouble is a prophecy that God will give me strength He will not abandon me like an unmarked grave I may live in darkness but I can walk by faith In my day of trouble As the sparks fly upward As the sparks fly upward I will always love you Always love you Everyone born of woman only has a few days I will always love you Trouble is a prophecy that God will be my strength I don't know that I would have it any other way I have no explanations but I will live by faith In my day of trouble Love can only prosper where there are no guarantees Lack is the provision of the bread off suffering So we eat our sacrament and then we let our praises ring In the day of trouble As the sparks fly upward As the sparks fly upward I will always love you Always love you Everyone born of woman only has a few days I will always love you
