[Originally performed by Prince]

Black day, stormy night

No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, he is coming
Don't die without knowing the cross


Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right

There'll be bread 4 all of us
If we can just bear the cross


Sweet song of salvation
A pregnant mother sings
She lives in starvation

Her children need all that she brings

We all have our problems

Some BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems
Will be taken by the cross


Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight

Don't cry 4 he is coming
Don't die without knowing the cross


Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right
There'll be bread 4 all, y'all

If we can just, just bear the cross, yeah

We all have our problems

Some are BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems, y'all
Will be taken by the cross


The cross
The cross
