So here you are, you hide your face behind the palms of your hands The room is dark, the walls are closing in, no one understands You think that you’re the only one mad enough to face this demon alone Somehow the steeple’s fallen down, don’t look now, your faith is gone
And I have walked a long mile in your shoes I’ve been down, I’ve paid my dues I have been there, I have been there, I will testify And I woke up from nightmares in your bed Running circles in your head I have been there, I have been there, I will testify
Take one more step, you’ll see eternity a heartache away You’ve got no bag of tricks, no crucifix, to make this okay One down, another dirty round, thought you found the easy road to your freedom Tick tock, the clock don’t seem to stop, don’t you know there’s only one
(Chorus)
You better watch your back ‘Cause you’re getting off track And it’s taking you over like a heart attack Save your skin ’cause you’re wearing it thin You’ve been waiting on a miracle man, amen But it’s one more thing to believe in, one more trial C’mon and give it up
