i am in the wilderness
you are in the music in the man's car next to me
somewhere in my sadness
i know i won't fall apart
completely

when i need to be rescued
and i need a place to swim
i have a rock to cling to
in the storm
when no-one can hear
me calling
i have you i can sing to

and in all this
and in all my life

you are the lovers rock
the rock that i cling to
you're the one
the one i swim to in a storm
like a lovers rock

i am in the wilderness
you are in the music in the man's car next to me
somewhere in my sadness
i know i won't fall apart
completely
and in all this
and in all my life

you are the lovers rock
the rock that i cling to
you're the one
the one i swim to in a storm
like a lovers rock

you are the lovers rock
the rock that i cling to
you're the one
the one i swim to in a storm
like a lovers rock

when i need to be rescued
you're there
when i need a place to swim to
in the storm
i think of you
and in all my life
and in all my life

you are the lovers rock
the rock that i cling to
you're the one
the one i swim to in a storm

he was turned away from
every door like joseph
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
he didn't know what it was
to be black
'til they gave him his change but didn't want to touch
his hand
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much

isn't it just enough
how hard it is to live
isn't it hard enough
just to make it through a day

the secret of their fear
and their suspicion
standing there looking
like an angel
in his brown shoes
his short suit
his white shirt
and his cuffs a little frayed
coming from where he did
he was such a dignified child
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much


isn't it just enough
how hard it is to live
isn't it hard enough
just to make it through a day

coming from where he did
he was turned away from
every door like joseph
to even the toughest among us
that would be too much
he didn't know wha
