Lyrics
Cast Your Cares On Me
© 2005 Martha Ann Brooks (BMI)
He?s been thinkin a lot about airplanes lately
High in the sky with the clouds below
Taking a trip just to get away
Doesn?t care where; he just wants to go
Everybody wants a piece of his time
He says ?Take a number and get in line?
There?s not enough of him to go around
Tryin? to get ahead but he?s losing ground
(Pre-Chorus)
At night, he?s havin that same ol? dream
Dark fears are taking hold; there?s no escape it seems
(Chorus)
Then he looks straight ahead and sees a light
And he hears a voice that brings him hope of a new life
?I?ll direct your steps; I will supply all of your needs
Cast your cares on Me
I won?t forsake you
I will never leave?
She?s daydreamin about the ocean lately
Watching the waves roll endlessly
Wanting to find a calm place out there
Quiet and warm with a salty breeze
Everybody wants a piece of her time
She swears some days she?s losin? her mind
Dawn to dusk she does a balancing act
So scared of something falling through the cracks
(Pre-Chorus)
At night, she?s havin that same ol? dream
Dark fears are taking hold; there?s no escape it seems
(Chorus)
Then she looks straight ahead and sees a light
And she hears a voice that brings her hope of a new life
?I?ll direct your steps; I will supply all of your needs
Cast your cares on Me
I won?t forsake you
I will never leave?
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh Lord if we will just look to you
We ?ll find the strength we need, enough to see us through
(Chorus)
If we?ll look straight ahead, we?ll see the light
Then we?ll hear those words that give us hope of a new life
?I?ll direct your steps; I will supply all of your needs
Cast your cares on Me
I won?t forsake you
I will never leave?
(Tag)Cast your cares on Me
I won?t forsake you
I will never leave?
