Give it Up to Love

Staring at the river
 The river oh so deep
 Praying to the Lord
 My soul to keep
 Trying to hang on
 I don't wanna throw it away
 I didn't want to leave
 But you didn't want to stay
 Give it up to love
 Let love have its way
 Love lead me on
 To a brighter day
 Sitting here thinking
 With my head in my hands
 I don't want to do wrong
 I just want to be a man
 I see the sun when it rise
 And I see it when it sets
 Staring down lonesome road girl
 But I don't see you yet, woo Lord
 Give it up to love
 Let love have its way
 Love lead me on
 To a brighter day
 Come on
 We must move on
 Wherever the road might lead
 Sometimes we may cry
 We may fall down to our knees
 But keep your mind wide open
 And pray every now and then
 Open up your heart
 And let love be your friend
 I don't want to do no wrong, Lord
 But it's kind of hard to do what's right
 Trying, trying to hold on, my Lord
 Lord, I'm trying to stand up like a man
 And I know I know I'm tired
 Woo but I'm trying to do the best that I can
 And I don't mean and I don't to be crying
 Woo I just need
 I just need a helping hand
 "Somebody ought to help me right now"
 Give it up to love
 Let love have its way
 Love lead me on
 To a brighter day
 "I heard him say"
 Give it up to love
 Let love have its way
 Love lead me on
 To a brighter day
 "Everybody say"
 Give it up to love
 Let love have its way
 Love lead me on
 To a brighter day
 "Everybody say"
 Give it up to love
 Let love have its way
 Love lead me on
 To a brighter day, Lord
