William Vincent Carpenter Came to America in 1635 and It Was Providence
Straight on 'til morning we will go
Straight on 'til morning... then we'll know
Whether this journey's been in vain
Whether our lives will be the same
I'll take your fears, you take my hand
I'll lead us through this foreign land
I'm sure that we'll make it there somehow
Somehow
As sure as the sunrise
As sure as the day is long
I'm sure that in due time
We'll find if it's right or wrong
Maybe it's providence
Maybe it's all for naught
Maybe it's everything we sought
We sought
Straight on 'til morning we will go
Straight on 'til morning... then we'll know
I'm sure that we'll make it there somehow
Somehow
As sure as the sunrise
As sure as the day is long
I'm sure that in due time
We'll find if it's right or wrong
Maybe it's providence
Maybe it's all for naught
Maybe it's everything we sought
We sought
For it was providence that led me straight to you
And if it's providence there's nothing we can't do
No matter the circumstance we'll surely see it through
For it was providence that I am here with you
I am here... I am here with you
I am here... I am here with you... here with you
As sure as the sunrise
As sure as the day is long
I'm sure that in due time
We'll find if it's right or wrong
It's providence
It's providence
It's providence
Straight on 'til morning... then we'll know
Whether this journey's been in vain
Whether our lives will be the same
I'll take your fears, you take my hand
I'll lead us through this foreign land
I'm sure that we'll make it there somehow
Somehow
As sure as the sunrise
As sure as the day is long
I'm sure that in due time
We'll find if it's right or wrong
Maybe it's providence
Maybe it's all for naught
Maybe it's everything we sought
We sought
Straight on 'til morning we will go
Straight on 'til morning... then we'll know
I'm sure that we'll make it there somehow
Somehow
As sure as the sunrise
As sure as the day is long
I'm sure that in due time
We'll find if it's right or wrong
Maybe it's providence
Maybe it's all for naught
Maybe it's everything we sought
We sought
For it was providence that led me straight to you
And if it's providence there's nothing we can't do
No matter the circumstance we'll surely see it through
For it was providence that I am here with you
I am here... I am here with you
I am here... I am here with you... here with you
As sure as the sunrise
As sure as the day is long
I'm sure that in due time
We'll find if it's right or wrong
It's providence
It's providence
It's providence
