[Verse 1]
"Keep your head above the water"
Says the man in the sky
"And don't believe you've ever got it made"
That's alright for you
He knows just what's going on
Me, I'm just sometimes a bit afraid

[Chorus]
Please hear my song, Mr. God
Whisper in my ear
That I might soon lay my burdens down

[Verse 2]
I took a picture of the sun wind
And hung it on the wall
And you've been kind enough to lead it there
But your makers' winds are blowing
Up the lonely eastern shore
I feel the need for God where I've never been before

[Chorus]
Hear my song, Mr. God
Come whisper in my ear
That I might soon lay my burdens down
Please hear my song, Mr. God
Come whisper in my ear
That I might soon lay my burdens down
