Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds It gets so hard in times like now to hold on But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God
And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
There's people around who tell you that they know And places where they send you, and it's easy to go They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you in a row But you know you don't have to, you could just say no
And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
I've been built up and trusted Broke down and busted But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh Though I've been trying hard against strong odds It gets so hard in times like now to hold on Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God
And there ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round Ain't no one going to turn me 'round
Won't you let me walk you home from school? Won't you let me meet you at the pool? Maybe Friday I can Get tickets for the dance And I'll take you, ooh ooh
Won't you tell your dad get off my back? Tell him what we said 'bout Paint It Black Rock and roll is here to stay Come inside where it's okay And I'll shake you, ooh ooh
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of? Would you be an outlaw for my love? If it's so, well let me know If it's no, well I can go I won't make you, ooh ooh
I'd like to go to India Live in a big white house in the forest Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano Read a few books Far from what saddens my heart Trying to live away from it
Find a new girl Who says she feels the same Get to know her after the trip Bathe in a forest pool Her life a part of mine And let no one know until I'm gone
Don't need to talk to my doctor Don't need to talk to my shrink Don't need to hide behind no locked door I don't need to think
'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know When my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know
Read all my books and talked about Listen to my radio Been in school and dropped right out Tryin' to find out what I didn't know
But when my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know When my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know
Don't need to talk to my doctor Don't need to talk to my shrink Don't need to hide behind no locked door I don't need to think
'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know When my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know When my baby's beside me, I don't worry When my baby's beside me, all I know
Once I walked a lonely road I had no one to share my love But then you came and showed the way And now I hope you're here to stay
You give me light, you are my day You give me life and that's right You give me light, you are my day You give me life and that's right So right, so right, so right
Lonely days of uncertainty They disappear when you're near me When you're around my life's worthwhile And now I long to see you smile
You give me light, you are my day You give me life and that's right You give me light, you are my day You give me life and that's right So right, so right, so right
My life is right My life is right My life is right
Once I walked a lonely road I had no one to share my love But then you came and showed the way And now I hope you're here to stay
You give me light, you are my day You give me life and that's right You give me light, you are my day You give me life and that's right So right, so right, so right
You feel sad 'cause I got mad And I'm sorry, I'm sorry Things I said made things seem bad But don't worry 'Cause it's gonna be alright now Be okay You know I just don't think before I speak
I've been looking for to find Something to believe in my mind And I thought it was you
All this time since you've been mine I've been angry, so angry Made it known I could make it alone But I'm changing And I'm gonna be alright now Be okay You know I just woke up and I see the way
Don't give up on me so fast I see it's me that's wrong at last Give me another chance
It's so hard just to stay alive each day I really can't go on this way, oh no Oh no
Hey
Don't give up on me so fast I see it's me that's wrong at last Give me another chance
Lord, I've been trying to be what I should Lord, I've been trying to do what I could But each time, it gets a little harder I feel the pain But I'll try again
Lord, I've been trying to be understood And Lord, I've been trying to do as you would But each time, it gets a little harder I feel the pain But I'll try again
I can feel it, now it's time Open your eyes Fears be gone, it won't be long There's a light in the sky It's okay to look outside The day it will abide And watch the sunrise
Sun, it shines on all of us We are one in it's hand Come inside and light my room like the heart of every man It's okay to look outside The day it will abide And watch the sunrise
I can feel it, now it's time Open your eyes Fears be gone, it won't be long There's a light in the sky It's okay to look outside Your love it will abide And watch the sunrise
