I spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sun shines
Than excuses for not stayin' 'round
I squandered my emotions at the slightest of notion
On the first easy woman I found
But soon all the good times, the gay times and the play times
Like colors run together and fade
Lord, if You hear me, touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
There's times when I've trembled when my mind remembers
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show but these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
And know, Lord, if You're listening, I'm just a lost Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
Send down some sunshine, throw out Your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
Send down some sunshine, and throw out Your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
