While strolling along life's highway,
there rose a mighty storm
And I heard a voice from heaven,
said, you're standing out there alone
I thought about King Jesus,
which I have folded in my arms
I've started out for heaven, Lord,
I'm gonna stay in the safety zone
Well, I'm standing in the safety zone,
child, sometimes I'm standing alone
Well, when old friends see me,
well, they cause me to weep and moan
Well, I'm standing in the safety zone,
sometimes I'm standing alone
Well, if you want to get to heaven, Lord,
you better stay in the safety zone
When all of my friends deceive me
Causing me to weep and mourn
If you want to get to heaven, Lord
You better stay in the safety zone
Died and left me, it was a long time ago
Lord, I've had many hard trials
and my journey's hard and slow
Well, I fell down on many knees
I said, Father, have mercy, please
Well, if you want to get to heaven, Lord
You better stay in the safety zone
the same place all the time
Oh, I'm walkin' in the same
If you wanna get to heaven, Lord,
Sometimes I'm standing alone
Well, when all my friends see me
Well, call me a weeping boy
Sometimes I'm standing alone
If you want to get to heaven, Lord
You'd better stay in the safety zone
