How do you keep on swimmin' in a sea of regret My hands keep on a-shakin' and a-covered in sweat I can't ever seem to scratch the itchin' inside Trapped inside of my brain and there's nowhere to hide I wanna be redeemed I wanna be redeemed The calisthenics are shakin' as it tilts all the rates I'm breakin' into pieces as the 90 gear fades My head is gettin' fuzzy and it's too dark to see Cause I shook off the devil now he's callin' for me I wanna be redeemed But I can never get free I wanna be redeemed High above the heavens someone's callin' for me But I'm lower than the lowest and I thought I could be My heart is beatin' faster and it gets harder and harder to breathe Can you spare a dollar for someone in duress? Can you spare a peaceful moment for a hand on the stress? I'm swept up in an undertow that's takin' me down So can you spare a shovel for a man on the ground? I wanna be redeemed I wanna be redeemed Is someone listenin' to me? High above the heavens someone's callin' for me But I'm lower than the lowest and I thought I could be My heart is beatin' faster and it gets harder and harder to breathe Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh I wanna be redeemed But I can never get free I wanna be redeemed I wanna be redeemed Oh, oh, oh, oh I wanna be redeemed
