I see it all before me

The days of love and torment

The nights of rock-and-roll

I see it all before me

Sometimes my spirit's empty

Don't have the will to go on

I wish someone would send me

Energy

Give me something

Give me something to give

Oh, God, give me something

A reason to live

My body is aching

Don't want sympathy

Come on. Come and love me

Come on. Set me free

Set me free

The lord is my shepherd. I shall not want

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures

He leadeth me beside the still waters

He restoreth my soul

He leadeth me through the path of righteousness for his name's sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil, for thou art with me

Hey, Lord, I'm waitin' for you

Oh, God, I'm waitin' for you

Waitin' to open your ninety-eight wounds

And be thee, be thee

Lead me, oh, lead me

Leave me something.

Leave me something to live

Oh, God, give me something

A reason to live

I don't want no handout

No, not sympathy

Come on

Come and love me

Come on

Set me free

Set me free

Come on

Set me free

Set me free

Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn young

Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn young

Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn

Set me free

In the presence of my enemies

Thou anointest my head with oil

My cup runneth over

Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Ah, damn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn

Here I am
