In my hour of need
On a sea of gray
On my knees I pray to you
Help me find the dawn
Of the dying day
Won’t you light my way(x4)
A bullet is a man
From time to time he strays
I compare my life to this
To this I relate
And I’m willing
To listen to your answers
And I’m not ashamed
To tell you I need you today
Won’t you light my way(x4)
So when I’m lost
Or I’m tired and depraved
Or when my high bullet mind
Goes astray won’t you light my way
Don’t save it for another day (x6)
Won’t you light my way (x4)
On a cobweb
Afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway
I confess i was lost in the pages
Of a book
Full of death
Reading how we’ll die alone
And if we’re good we’ll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go
In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I’ll wait for you there
Like a stone
I’ll wait for you there
Alone
And on my death bed
I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan
To anyone who will take me to heaven
To a place
I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on
In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I’ll wait for you there
Like a stone
I’ll wait for you there
Alone
Alone
And on i read
Till the day was gone
And i sat in regret
For all the things i’ve done
For all that i’ve blessed
And all that i’ve wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on
In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I’ll wait for you there
Like a stone
I’ll wait for you there
Alone
Alone
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a boquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
Yeah
And be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation
In everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane
Yeah
And be yourself is all that you can do
[all that you can do]
To be yourself is all that you can do
[all that you can do]
To be yourself is all that you can do
[all that you can do]
To be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you’ve paid enough
Been put upon, or been held up
With every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of luck
Don’t lose any sleep tonight
I’m sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
To be yourself is all that you can do, oh [x3]
[all that you can do]
And to be yourself is all that you can
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
Well I’ve been watching
While you’ve been coughing
I’ve been drinking life
While you’ve been nauseous
And so I drink to health
While you kill yourself
And I’ve got just one thing
That I can offer
[Nakarat]
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
I’m not a martyr
I’m not a prophet
And I won’t preach to you
But here’s a caution
You better understand
That I won’t hold your hand
But if it helps you mend
Then I won’t stop it
[Nakarat]
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Drown if you want
And I’ll see you at the bottom
Where you’ll crawl on my skin
And put the blame on me
So you don’t feel a thing
[Nakarat]
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
