[Verse 1] I let people, places and things Get in the way of us Then sometimes maybe it was just me Thinking I knew so much I thought that I could succeed on my own Doing my own things But now, I realise I am no good alone Now I know that I need you You make the winds, and the waves obey You place the stars in the sky And you tell the clouds what form to take Nothing can stand in your way 'Cause you are Lord You are God [Chorus] I thought I could make it (without you) Now I know I can't make it (without you) Ooh I need you with me Right here right near me Without you I am nothing (nothing, nothing) I thought I could make it (without you) Now I know I can't make it (without you) Ooh I need you with me Right here right near me Without you I am nothing (nothing, nothing) [Verse 2] When I am near you, that's when I find I have direction (yes I do, yeah) And you let me know when I'm wrong when I'm right Gives me perspective (yes it does) And how did I think that I'd make it through the rain It's your protection And I cannot go another day Now I know that I need you You make the winds, and the waves obey You place the stars in the sky And you tell the clouds what form to take Nothing can stand in your way 'Cause you are Lord You are God [Chorus] I thought I could make it (without you) Now I know I can't make it (without you) Hey, I need you with me Right here right near me Without you I'm nothing (nothing, nothing) Ooh, thought I could make it (without you) Now I know I can't make it (without you) Ooh, I need you with me Right here right near me Without you I am nothing (nothing, nothing)
