If I Could Say A Word - Doc McKenzie And The Hi-Lites

If I Could Say A Word Lyrics

Chorus
If I could say the word to help someone along the way
If I could pray a prayer to help some sinner whose gone astray
I would look to the hills and ask the Lord for a little more grace
I'm trying so hard to make it in, to make it in
Verse I
Lord I don't bother nobody
I've tried to treat everybody the same
Just as soon as I tried to make a start for you Jesus
Oh so call friends scandalize my name
But you know what
In Jesus I'm looking for me a home
If I can't help my brothers and sisters
I can leave them alone
Telling everybody that I'm trying

Choir
I'm trying so hard to make it in, to make it in
Repeat Chorus
If I could say the word to help someone along the way
If I could pray a prayer to help some sinner whose gone astray
I would look to the hills and ask the Lord for a little more grace
I'm trying so hard to make it in, to make it in
Verse II
I want to say this one more time
Lord I don't bother nobody
I've tried to treat everybody the same
But you know what
Just as soon as I tried to make a start for you Jesus
Hey, so call saints scandalize my name
But in Jesus I'm looking for me a home
If I can't help my brothers and sisters
You know what I do
I leave them alone
Oh I am trying so hard
Choir
I'm trying so hard to make it in, to make it in
Repeat Chorus
If I could say the word to help someone along the way
If I could pray a prayer to help some sinner whose gone astray
I would look to the hills and ask the Lord for a little more grace
I'm trying so hard to make it in, to make it in, in, in
