Isabel Lyrics

by Bryan Duncan

Isabel is a new believer
She works a shift in the bar
And every night they all love to tease her
"You've finally found you a star"
Hard time
Hard line
To stand for what you know is true
Hard time
Hard line, ooh

She tells her story to hardened faces
They say they've heard it before
They've seen at least a half-dozen cases
Who don't believe anymore

Hard time
Hard line
To stand for what you know is true
Hard time
Hard line, ooh, whoa!

Isabel, you're a new creation
Isabel
You're not alone in your situation
You don't know how long we've waited
Patiently anticipating
You, oh
She's workin' late but on Monday morning
She finds a light in the dark
It's where she learns of her new-found calling
Escapes the flood in the ark

Hard time
Hard line
To stand for what you know is true
Hard time
Hard line, ooh, whoa!
Isabel, you're a new creation
Isabel
You're not alone in your situation
You don't know how long we've waited
Patiently anticipating
You, oh

(Isabel, you're a new creation)
Oh, Isabel!
(Not alone in your situation)
Alone in your situation
(Isabel, you're a new creation)
Oh, Isabel!
(Not alone in your situation)
Not alone, oh, no, no
Oh, Isabel
