I can't wait 'til the day Where I lay my troubles down I can't wait 'til the day Where I lay my troubles down I can't wait 'til the day Where I lay my troubles down I can't wait 'til the day Where I lay my troubles down The trouble in my soul, it will be no more I just wanna be free for evermore The trouble in my mind, I will leave behind I can't wait to find, a place that I call mine Feel so good to know that you will always be around (Tell me don't you, don't it feel good) Feel so good to know that you will always be around (Tell me don't you, don't it feel good) Feel so good to know that you will always be around Feel so good to know that you will always be around It's so good to know wherever I go, I am not alone Don't wanna give up alone Because I have you here, I don't have to fear I'm so glad you're here Promise that you'll stay near The trouble in my soul, it will be no more I just wanna be free for evermore The trouble in my mind, I will leave behind I can't wait to find, a place that I call mine It's alright to talk about "Long white robes over yonder" In all of its symbolism But ultimately people want some suits and dresses And shoes to wear down here It's alright to talk about, "Streets flowing with milk and honey" But God has demanded us To be concerned about the slums down here And his children who can't eat three square meals a day I lay my troubles down I can't wait 'til the day Where I lay my troubles down I can't wait 'til the day Where I lay my troubles down
