Shine a Light in the Dark

I've been lost before and I had to pay It was never easy but I found a way Well the journey was hard and the road was tough There were times when I cried lord I've had enough Please don't desert me now Don't you leave me stranded now I need a friend Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when I'm helpless Show me mercy when I'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when I get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if I get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark I've been down and out and I've been fit to drop But the thought of you wouldn't let me stop Now a man should stand upon his own two feet Because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet Please don't desert me now I can hear the reaper calling in the wind Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when I'm helpless Show me mercy when I'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when I get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if I get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Where were you when the chips were down I fell apart when I hit the town Where were you when I couldn't get arrested Where were you when the lights went out I blew a fuse, did you hear me shout Where on earth do I look for heavens sake There's a brotherhood that I want to see Gotta take my share of equality There's no harmony in a one man band Even god almighty needs a helping hand Please don't desert me now There's no time and I can't fight another day Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when I'm helpless Show me mercy when I'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when I get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if I get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark
