Lyrics
I sense your presence by the side of the room
I see you're wounded by the light of the moon
You have been weeping, your eyes are aglow
I sense a sadness in you way down below
I know you're tossing like a cork on the tide
I know you're sleeping with a thorn in your side
I know you're living on a prayer and a word
I bet you're wondering when your prayer will be heard
You will find a way, I cannot say how
If I knew I would have told you by now
Someday, sister, you won't have to worry
You won't have to work, you won't have to hurry
Your light will be lit, your prayer will be met
So don't go breaking down on me just yet
You see a darkness at the end of the day
Like a tempest at the edge of the bay
Your faith is shaken, but it is whole
I keep a vigil for you down in my soul
You will come on home, I cannot say when
But someday soon we both will be there again
One day, sister, the world will be right
You won't have to stress, you won't have to fight
The bed, it is made, the table is set
So don't go breaking down on me just yet
Don't go breaking down on me just yet
Oh, don't go breaking down on me just yet
God has his reasons, and we'll never know
Why it is that he must toy with us so
I tell you one thing his loving is true
I ought to know it brought me to you
One day sister, your work will be done
You won't have to race, you won't have to run
It has been written, so you never forget
Just don't go breaking down on me just yet
Don't go breaking down on me just yet
Just don't go breaking down on me just yet
Uh-uh, uh-uh, oh, yeah
Uh-uh, uh-uh, oh, yeah
