Sometimes life can be a burden
Trying to 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're washed away in the sand
And it's hurting my pride
Trying to survive
But I know that I stand a chance
When you lay your hands
Cause 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 and 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.
Feel this road is getting longer now
And I'm too far away from home
Still I got to 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
Cause the game is getting harder
The strain is getting stronger
And I can only face the fight
When you lay your hands
Cause 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..
Till I'm healed again,
Rediscovered my strengths,
Those bitter blues are gone...
Do you feel my pain
Do you feel the strain
I'm falling
Lay your 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 your hands on me.
Come and lay your hands on me.
