Strength

I can feel a fire burning deep inside my soul
Relieve me of my worries
For I have no self-control
Be my guardian angel
Catch me in the wrong
Let me know of your presence
Then lead me home
A place that seems so distant in the time of need
I can feel my heart bleeding as it burns away
Take me now
For tomorrow is not promised today
I hold my head up high
I will not cry
What's left to do when a life in on the line
I shall not act in a way that's divine
The time is now
Let us all take a stand
Instead of reaching out alone
Lend a neighbor your helping hand
Together we can make it without a plan
If we all depend on one man
