Verse 1:
I know you been suffering,
Rolling with the rising tide,
I don’t why that the world is this way,
I’m just coming along for the ride,
Some people keep on talking to me,
About how we’re going to make it alive,
I understand what you’re saying my friend,
But I’m trying to do more that survive,
Yes I’m trying to do more than survive,
Bridge 1:
There seems to be a subtlety,
A gentle movement of the soul,
Take up your courage and follow me,
Cause I’m headed down a rocky road,
Oh Father in Heaven above,
Won’t You look down on Your children here,
We’ve been struggling a long time,
And our prayers are filled with tears,
Chorus 1:
Oh Father look down – Take a look down,
Look on down now yeah – Down on us,
Look on – Take a look down,
Down on us – If You please,
See what’s going on here,
Verse 2:
Many times I was washed away,
Chalk me up as lost at sea,
But just before I hit the ocean floor,
I felt a hand reaching down to me,
The body’s weak but the spirit is strong,
No doubt about it in my mind,
A single word can take me far from grace,
And pull me down to the prison of my design,
Bridge 2:
I know that there’s a better way,
For me to live my own life,
I keep on looking for that guiding hand,
In the sky,
Oh Father in heaven above,
Won’t you look down on your children here,
We’ve been struggling a long time,
And our prayers are filled there filled up Father there filled up,
Chorus 2:
Father look – Take a look down now,
See about us here – Down on us,
Take a look down – Down on us,
