In an act of desperation, he put a gun to his head In his mind confusion, nothing but delusion, thinking he was better off dead No one to be his savior, from the vices he made Voices callin' to him, left his life in ruins, drugs have led his mind astray
God, don't you hear me? God, don't you care? Cause if you did, my friend, you wouldn't leave me hangin' on this way Somebody turn on the lights, somebody give me some air I'm in the middle of a nasty situation that is leading me on nowhere I gotta hear you tonight, I gotta know that you care You got me down on my knees and I'm praying and I gotta know you're really out there
The second hand is ticking, time moves ahead Feel the shadows breathing, whispering and seething, dealing inside my head A Candle flame before me, flickers in dance As I sit here praying, hoping that I'm swaying the Gods of second chance All cry to heaven, all cry for truth And while we wait for lights and thunder, the devil is on the loose
Somebody turn on the lights, somebody give me some air I'm in the middle of a nasty situation that is leading me on nowhere I gotta hear you tonight, I gotta know that you care You got me down on my knees and I'm praying and I gotta know you're really out there
