[Verse 1:]
Somehow the breath of life forgot to wake up today.
Somehow the touch of love didn't find the time to give me all its grace.
So rise and show me my disgrace.
So rise and put me in the long race.

Somehow all the guilt of my sins took me to a far away land,
And now the burden on my sins makes it so I can barely stand.
So rise and take me by the hand.
So rise and show me where it all began.

[Chorus:]
I can't do it all.
And I can't stand to fall.
And I can't do this on my own
And I can't find my way home.
Sing on,
Sing on,
Sing on,
Sing on.

[Verse 2:]
And now that I am in your presence I can hardly speak.
And now that I can see you I start to feel week.
So rise and put me back on my feet.
So rise and show me where the sun leaks.

Somehow all my transgression put me in a tight spot.
And now all my transgressions tie me in a knot.
So rise and be what I am not.
So rise and leave me here to rot.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
For too many days
I have been this way.
For too many years
I have lived in fear.
I cannot wear this mask
I'm gonna turn out last.
So help me. From the start,
You gotta help me do my art.
So help me (help me)
Help me (help me)
Sing my song.
So help me (help me)
Help me (help me)
Sing on.

[Chorus]
