Lay down your sorrow, lay back your head,
Down on the waters that will wash your pain away.

Take all your worries, bring all your sins,
Meet me in the morning on the fields of sugar cane,
Meet me in the morning on the fields of sugar cane.

I’ll kiss your teardrops ‘n’ dry them away,
Unveil your secret, I won’t let you go astray.

We’ll grow stronger, we won’t be sad,
We’ll stay together as the past is swept away,
We’ll stay together as the past is swept away.

There must be somewhere, out on this world,
Under the rainbow we’ll be allowed to make a stand.

We’ll rise tomorrow on foreign lands,
Now hold my hand and we’ll wade across the strait,
Now hold my hand and we’ll wade across the strait.

Throw away your pebbles, we’ll get us pearls,
We’ll find a safer place somewhere beyond these banks.

We won’t surrender, we won’t give in,
We’ll be rewarded, fortune’s waiting ’round the bend,
We’ll be rewarded, fortune’s waiting ’round the bend.

We’ll meet good times girl, we’ll find the way,
I’ll croon to the moon underneath the Milky Way.

Let’s not feel guilty, nobody is hurt,
We’ll be forgiven and we’ll never have to pray,
We’ll be forgiven and we’ll never have to pray.
