I was born in the city, there's no flies on me Life can't deliver, no surprise to me Got a head full of trouble, the world's weighing on my back I'm a fighter, I survive like that I'm a moth on an ember, I am living proof Cold eyes speaking volumes, of my troubled youth I believe in the future, from mistakes I have grown Deep in the shadows, which were once my home Need your hand to help me over your shoulder Need your light to bring me closer to your shelter Been so long in the bitter, see the air I breathe Seen a million believers, crying desperately I won't give in to the pressure, keep my spirit intact Cause I know when I need you, you will watch my back Need your hand to help me over your shoulder Need your light to bring me closer to your shelter Need your hand to help me over your shoulder Need your light to bring me closer to your shelter They can't take you away from me When they try, it only makes me stronger Through the dark, it's your light I see Helping to show me the way Know when I'll be safe in your shelter Need your hand to help me, help me over Need your light to bring me closer to your shelter Need your hand to help me over Need your shoulder to help me over Need your light to bring me closer to your shelter Need your hand to help me over Need your shoulder to help me over Need your light to bring me closer to your shelter
