Lyric 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
