Lyrics

WATCHING OVER US

In times of uncertainty
When the horizon I can't see
I can feel the presence
Of someone watching over me

Once in a grocery store
As I was standing in line
A lady in front of me was crying
She had spent her last dime

When I gave her a twenty dollar bill
She looked at me quite strange
Your family won't go hungry tonight, said I
And oh. . . .keep the change

Thank you so much, thank you said she
Thank you thank you
For watching over me

In my past I was out walking
The time I can't remember
It was starting to get cold
I guess it was December

As I journeyed on my way
A faint voice I could hear
It started getting louder
I knew I must be near

As I came around the corner
It began to make all sense
There was a baby lamb
With his head stuck in a fence

As I folded back his tiny ears
And pulled the wire from his head
He looked up at me as if to speak
I think this is what he said

Thank you kind sir
Thank you for setting me free
Thank you thank you
For watching over me

When times become difficult
A little help is always a plus
It feels good to know that someone, someone
Is watching over us

In times of uncertainty
When the horizon I can't see
I always feel the presence
Of someone watching over me
