Intro riff

Once a mother stood on a corner

Tears betrayed her painted smile

She was trading in her halo

For just enough to feed her child

Then an old man, cold and hungry

Saw her crying and he stopped

And He gave her his one possession

A shining silver pocket watch

There's no cross that love won't bear

And when you're down to your last prayer

It will be the saving grace

In the depths of your despair

There's no cross that love won't bear

So the old man found a dumpster,

Crawled inside and went to sleep

As he drifted into slumber

He prayed the Lord, his soul to keep

Then the mother with her halo

Came to him in a dream

And he woke up in a mansion

His silver watch there on it's chain

There's no cross that love won't bear

And when you're down to your last prayer

It will be the saving grace

In the depths of your despair

There's no cross that love won't bear

No, there's no cross that love won't bear
