The gossip flies, the coffee's stale

My heart's steady as a drum

He can't go home 'til He clears his mind

And His supper's cold by now

    Em
The doctor's words crash through His ears
         B
About a treatment plan and a lot of years

He will live to see somehow

 He gathers all His friends and family
G                          C      D

My faith's holding strong, 'n' -
C           D            Em
'n' I'll be ready when it comes

(when it comes)
One light shinin' that is brighter than the sun
          C
(when it comes)
Way down deep inside the heart of Everyone
          A

I reach past My troubles for the strength to carry on

(when it comes)
And find that what I need was right there all along
