It's like driving a real long stretch
And finally pulling over to take a rest, hmm, finally
It's like walking across that stage
Getting that diploma that says you made it, ooh finally

Finally
I can see the light of the day
Finally
After the night has rolled away
My soul cries, finally

Finally
Now that the worse is at an end
Finally
I can breathe again
My soul cries, finally

It's like pacing the floor all night
To get that little baby to close her eyes then it happens, finally
It's like after a real bad storm
And then you emerge with no hurt or harm, ooh finally

Finally
I can see the bright of day
Finally
Oh, that the night has rolled away
My soul cries, finally

Finally
Now that the worse is at an end
Finally
I can breathe again
My soul cries, finally

Finally
I can see the bright of day
Finally
Oh, that the night has rolled away
My soul cries, finally

Finally
Now that the worse is at an end
Finally
I can breathe again
My soul cries, finally

Finally, finally, finally
Finally
I heard for so many years
My soul cries

Weeping may endureth for a night
Oh, but joy comes in the morning
Finally, finally
My soul cries
