i've been lost before and i had to pay
|
it was never easy but i found a way
|
well the journey was hard and the road was tough
|
there were times when i cried lord i've had enough
|
please don't desert me now
|
don't you leave me stranded now i need a friend
|
please don't desert me now
|
you've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
|
|
show me mercy when i'm helpless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
hold me back when i get reckless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
stand me up if i get legless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
shine a light in the dark
|
shine a light in the dark
|
|
i've been down and out and i've been fit to drop
|
but the thought of you wouldn't let me stop
|
now a man should stand upon his own two feet
|
because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet
|
please don't desert me now
|
i can hear the reaper calling in the wind
|
please don't desert me now
|
you've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
|
|
show me mercy when i'm helpless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
hold me back when i get reckless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
stand me up if i get legless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
shine a light in the dark
|
shine a light in the dark
|
|
where were you when the chips were down
|
i fell apart when i hit the town
|
where were you when i couldn't get arrested
|
where were you when the lights went out
|
i blew a fuse, did you hear me shout
|
where on earth do i look for heavens sake
|
|
there's a brotherhood that i want to see
|
gotta take my share of equality
|
there's no harmony in a one man band
|
even god almighty needs a helping hand
|
please don't desert me now
|
there's no time and i can't fight another day
|
please don't desert me now
|
you've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless
|
|
show me mercy when i'm helpless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
hold me back when i get reckless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
stand me up if i get legless
|
shine a light in the dark
|
shine a light in the dark
|
shine a light in the dark
|
