I see it all before me:
|
the days of love and torment;
|
the nights of rock-and-roll.
|
I see it all before me.
|
Sometimes my spirit's empty;
|
don't have the will to go on.
|
I wish someone would send me
|
energy.
|
|
Give me something.
|
Give me something to give.
|
Oh, God, give me something:
|
a reason to live.
|
My body is aching.
|
Don't want sympathy.
|
Come on. Come and love me.
|
Come on. Set me free.
|
Set me free.
|
|
The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
|
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
|
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
|
He restoreth my soul.
|
He leadeth me through the path of righteousness for His name's sake.
|
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
|
I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.
|
|
Hey, Lord, I'm waitin' for you.
|
Oh, God, I'm waitin' for you;
|
waitin' to open Your ninety-eight wounds
|
and be Thee, be Thee.
|
Lead me, oh, lead me.
|
|
Leave me something.
|
Leave me something to live.
|
Oh, God, give me something:
|
a reason to live.
|
I don't want no handout;
|
no, not sympathy.
|
Come on. Come and love me.
|
Come on. Set me free.
|
Set me free.
|
Come on. Set me free
|
Set me free...
|
|
Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn young.
|
Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn young.
|
Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn.
|
Set me free.
|
|
In the presence of my enemies,
|
Thou anointest my head with oil.
|
My cup runneth over.
|
Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me
|
all the days of my life.
|
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
|
|
Ah, damn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn.
|
Here I am.
