Lyrics Mavis Staples – Love And Trust

The simplest things can be the hardest to do
Can’t find what you’re looking for even when it’s looking for you
The judge and the criminal, the sinner and the priest
Got something in common, bring ’em all to their knees

Do what you can, do what you must
Everybody’s crying to find some love and trust
I walk the line, I walk it for us
See me out here tryin’ to find some love and trust

(Love and trust)
(Love and trust)

Lust ain’t an offender but stealing from a thief
Storm after storm leave you shaking like a leaf
They say broken hearts make the world go around
Trading headaches for heartaches, wanna get you down

Give it some time, don’t try to rush
When you’re trying to find yourself some love and trust
Do what you can, might not be enough
When you’re trying to find yourself some love and trust

Like a horse in a race who don’t wanna run
Like an executioner who won’t fire his gun
Like a boxer yo who won’t take a swing
Just like a prince who don’t wanna be king

Haven’t we suffered, suffered enough
Now we’re out here tryin’ to find some love and trust
Do what you can, do what you must
Everybody’s trying to find some love and trust
Everybody’s trying to find some love and trust

Everybody
(Love and trust)
Do what you must
