Sometimes life
can be a burden
Try'na stay one
step ahead
I feel the world upon
my shoulder each
time I'm standing
out on the edge
And my hopes have
all deserted me
Like they washed
away in the sand
And it's hurting
my pride
try'na survive
But I know
I stand a chance
When you
lay your hands
Oh yeah
'Cos it's the only thing
I have that still
makes sense
Oh baby when
I'm calling out
Give me love
and affection
Keep telling me,
show me the way
Oh, if you see
me falling down
Lift me up from
the shadows
Will you take me away
to a better place?
And when I'm in
my darkest hour
You're by my side,
to turn the tide
Until the
suffering fades
When life is
getting me down,
getting me down,
I'm close to defeat
Come and lay
your hands on me
Yeah yeah yeah
Baby baby baby
Feel this road is
getting longer now
And I'm too far
away from home
Still I gotta keep
on moving on
But I can't do it
on my own
Baby keep my
head above water
Help me swim
for my life
'Cos the game
is getting harder
The strain is
getting stronger
And I can only
face the fight
When you
lay your hands
Oh yeah
'Cos it's the only
thing I have that
still makes sense
Oh baby when
I'm calling out
Give me love
and affection
Keep telling me,
show me the way
Oh, if you see
me falling down
Lift me up from
the shadows
Will you take
me away to
a better place?
And when I'm in
my darkest hour
You're by my side,
to turn the tide,
until then suffering fades
When life is
getting me down,
getting me down,
I'm close to defeat
Come and lay
your hands on me
Till I'm healed again
Rediscovered my
strengths
Those bitter
blues are gone
Oh, gone
Oh baby,
when I'm calling out
Give me love
and affection
Keep telling me,
show me the way
Oh, if you see
me falling down
Lift me up from
the shadows
Will you take
me away to a
better place?
And when I'm in
my darkest hour
You're by my side,
to turn the tide until
the suffering fades
When life is
getting me down,
getting me down
I'm close to defeat
Come and lay
your hands on me
