What do you do when your smiles gone south
for the winter and you can't find the words to describe with you mouth
how you feel, when you get kicked while you're down
when every time you've come out of the shadows, something, or someone, knocks you down
Now I know I haven't been the perfect saint
I've been around, I don't pray much, I curse too much for goodness sake
But try as I might I can't get back up
I've given all I had, my body wants to give up.
My soul is crying after years of insecurity
Lord, please, I beg you, cast it from me.
All my pain, all my inequities, all my hurts and my wrongs
I know life isn't easy but I've carried them far too long
Please, give me the strength, the will, to get back up again.
I'm through going it alone, I need a friend
