LAY YOUR HANDS

Sometimes life can be a burden Trying to stay one step ahead Feel the world upon my shoulder each time I'm standing out on the edge And my hopes have all deserted me Like they've 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 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, showing me the way Oh when 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 Be by my side, to turn the tide Until my suffering fades When life is getting me down Getting me down and 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 gotta keep on movin 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 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, showing me the way Oh when 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 Be by my side, to turn the tide Until my suffering fades When life is getting me down Getting me down and close to defeat Come and lay your hands on me Till I'm healed again Rediscovered my strength And those bitter blues are gone All gone Oh baby when I'm calling out Give me love and affection Keep telling me, showing me the way Oh when 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 Be by my side, to turn the tide Until my suffering fades When life is getting me down Getting me down and close to defeat Come and lay your hands on me
