Sometimes life can be a burden,
Trying to stay one step a head,
Feel the world up on 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,
Cos 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.
