I've heard it said
Take joy in sufferin'
How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel?
Is it waverin'? Is it cold?
Is it searing? Is it known?
How should it feel? How should it feel? How should it feel?

Right now, I'm prayin' somewhere in between
Your will be done, and take this cup from me
But if You don't, all I ask of Thee

Stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe till the Sun comes up
Is that askin' for too much?
Wait, will You wait
Will You wait a little longer?
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me till it's over

They say this, too, shall pass
But how long is it supposed to last?
How will I know? How will I know? How will I know?
'Cause life, it be life-in'
There's no two ways about it
So if I'm gonna go through Hell just to smile again

Lord, will You stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe till the Sun comes up
Is that askin' for too much?
Wait, will You wait
Will You wait a little longer?
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me till it's over

If nothing else, all I need to know
No matter what, You won't let me go
If nothing else, all I need to know
No matter what, You won't let me go

Stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe till the Sun comes up
Is that askin' for too much?
Wait, will You wait
Will You wait a little longer?
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me till it's over

Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me till it's over
O Lord, O Lord, whoa
