[Verse 1:]
My back is against the wall
More bills than money to pay
But I know just who, who to call on
When I need relief I pray to help me fight

[Chorus:]
The pressure, the pressures of the world
The pressure, the pressure
The pressure, the pressure of the world
Oh, oh, oh...

[Verse 2:]
Playin' on the tensions are your weakness and addictions
That lure your mind astray
You can fight it, you can win
For your deliverance, just bow your head and pray
To help me fight

[Chorus:]
The pressure, the pressures of the world
Oh, the pressure, the pressure
The pressures of the world
Oh the pressure, oh
The pressures, oh the pressures
Hey, oh the pressures of the world
All of the pressures of this mean old world
The pressures of the world
The pressures of the world
Oh, oh the pressures of the world
The pressures of this troubled world
Oh, the pressure, the pressures
The pressures of this mean old world

[Bridge:]
We all have our burdens to carry
I know when mine gets too heavy
He's right there to bear the load
He gives me strength and comfort
Any time I need relief from the pressures of the world
I just believe

That's how I fight it
The pressures
Pressures of the world
The pressure
That's how I fight the pressures of the world

When I'm depressed I do my best
To keep the faith and run the race

The pressures
Pressures of the world today
If you're looking out
Lift your hand and shout
To release the pressure
Hey, the pressure of the world

The pressure of the world
Hey, the pressure, oh, the pressures

Keep your pride
Don't take nothing in stride
Relieve the pressure

The pressure
