Well, I spent my whole lifetime 
In a world where the sunshine 
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round 

I squandered emotions 
On the slightest of notions 
And the first easy loving I found 

But soon all of the good times 
The gay times and play times 
Like colors run together and fade 
Oh Lord, if you hear me 
Touch me and hold me 
And keep me from blowing away 

There are times when I trembled 
When my mind remembered 
The days that just crumbled away 
 
With nothing to show 
But these lines that I know 
Are beginning to show in my face 

Oh Lord, if you're listening 
I know, I'm no Christian 
And I ain't got much coming to me 
So send down some sunshine 
And throw out your lifeline 
And keep me from blowing away 

Oh Lord, if you hear me 
Touch me and hold me 
Keep me from blowing away
