Sometimes life can be a burden Tryna 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 Tryna survive But I know I stand a chance (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 ur hands on me 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 The strain is gettin stronger And I can only face the fight (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 ur hands on me (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 ur hands on me Come and lay your hands on me
