I Will Get Over

(albüm: Freedom Knows My Name - 1993)

I will get over
I'll make it there

There's a rock in the road
And a ditch on the side
And a steep hill that must be climbed
It's a big heavy load
And it measures too wide
And a destination
That's hard to find, but

I will get over
I'll make it there
There's just no getting 'round it
This trouble I bear
I will get over
I'll make it there
'Til I climb up that mountain
And breathe heaven's air
I will get over

There's a stop sign ahead
And it's slippery when wet
And a detour at every turn
There's a narrowing bridge
A long threatening ridge
And a big, old landslide
That bars return, but

I will get over
I'll make it there
'Til I climb up that mountain
And breathe heaven's air
I will get over

'Til that sweet day I find it
And know that I'm there
I will get over

There's a wreck on the right
And it's getting on night
And the headlights, they won't turn on
All my brakes have been worn
Bumper's been torn
And my pride and patience
Are all but gone

I will get over
I'll make it there
'Til I climb up that mountain
And breathe heaven's air

I will get over
I'll make it there
'Til I climb up that mountain
And breathe heaven's air, ooh (I'm gonna make it)

I will get over
I'll make it there
I will get over
I will get over
I will get over
I will get over
I will get over
