  • One more phone call from a friend
    Just to say how hard it's been
    How their hopes and dreams have scattered
    With the wind
    They don't see that I'm there too
    How it breaks my heart in two
    Just to make it through this night's all I can do

    Help me Lord
    I need the sun to drive away
    The shadows in my mind
    Help me Lord
    I need someone to guide me
    When the path is hard to find
    Even though the crowd surrounds me
    I'm still standing all alone
    When I know I can't go on
    Help me Lord

    As I awake again today
    And my pain won't go away
    And the face I have to wear
    Shows a smile
    Now my nights are so alone
    I just wish I could go home
    I don't know if I can make it another mile

    Help me Lord
    I need the sun to drive away
    The shadows in my mind
    Please help me Lord
    I need someone to guide me
    When the path is hard to find
    Even though the crowd surrounds me
    I'm still standing all alone
    When I know I can't go on
    Help me Lord

    I feel so alone sometimes
    The night is quiet for me
    I'd love to be able to sleep
    I am glad that everyone is gone now
    I'll probably not rest tonight
    I have no need for all of this
    Help me Lord

    Help me Lord
    I need the sun to drive away
    The shadows in my mind
    Please help me Lord
    I need someone to guide me
    When the path is hard to find
    Even though the crowd surrounds me
    God I am so all alone
    When I know I can't go on
    Help me Lord

    Won't you come and take me home
