[Verse 1]
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 numb?
How should it feel? How should it feel? How should it feel?

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe 'til 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 'til it's over

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Lord, will You stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe 'til the sun comеs up
Is that askin' for too much?
Wait, will You wait
Will You wait a little longer?
Head upon Your shouldеr
Hold me 'til it's over

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Stay, will You stay
Will You stay a little longer?
Maybe 'til 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 'til it's over
[Outro]
Head upon Your shoulder
Hold me 'til it's over
O Lord, O Lord, woah
