Lyrics Give it Up to Love - Mighty Sam McClain

Staring at the river
The river oh so deep
Praying to the Lord
My soul to keep
Trying to hang on
I don′t wanna throw it away
I didn't want to leave
But you didn′t want to stay

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day
Sitting here thinking
With my head in my hands
I don't want to do wrong
I just want to be a man
I see the sun when it rise
And I see it when it sets
Staring down lonesome road girl
But I don't see you yet, woo Lord

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day
Come on

We must move on
Wherever the road might lead
Sometimes we may cry
We may fall down to our knees
But keep your mind wide open
And pray every now and then
Open up your heart
And let love be your friend

I don′t want to do no wrong, Lord
But it′s kind of hard to do what's right
Trying, trying to hold on, my Lord
Lord, I′m trying to stand up like a man
And I know I know I'm tired
Woo but I′m trying to do the best that I can
And I don't mean and I don′t to be crying
Woo I just need
I just need a helping hand
"Somebody ought to help me right now"

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day
"I heard him say"
Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day

"Everybody say"

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day

"Everybody say"

Give it up to love
Let love have its way
Love lead me on
To a brighter day, Lord
