Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Step out in the night
When you're lonely
Listening for the sounds
That your ears don't hear
I know your cross is heavier
With every step, every step
But I know a man
And he'd walk miles for you
[Verse 2]
Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself
Can't tell your mama
She'd only tell you
That she told you so
The life you're leadin'
She won't believe the riches of life
We all know
[Verse 3]
Dawn turns to day
And the dawning
Daytime, nighttime
And we still can't see
Why must we wait
Until the morning light?
To wake up and be?
Wake up and be, wake up and be
Wake up and be, wake up and be
[Verse 4]
Step out in the night
When you're lonely
Listen for the sound
That your ears don't hear
I know your cross is heavier
With every step, every step
But I know a man
Who'd walk miles for you
[Verse 5]
Stop, you stay where you are
Take a look at yourself
Take a good look at yourself
Can't tell your mama
She'd only tell you
That she told you so
The life you're leadin'
She won't believe the riches of life
We all know
[Verse 6]
Can't tell your mama
She'd only tell you
That she told you so
The life you're leadin'
She won't believe the riches of life
We all know
