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
