Meanwhile Shine A Light In The Dark I've been lost before and i had to pay It was never easy but i found a way Well the journey was hard and the road was tough There were times when i cried lord i've had enough Please don't desert me now Don't you leave me stranded now i need a friend Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless Show me mercy when i'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when i get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if i get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark I've been down and out and i've been fit to drop But the thought of you wouldn't let me stop Now a man should stand upon his own two feet Because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet Please don't desert me now I can hear the reaper calling in the wind Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless Show me mercy when i'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when i get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if i get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Where were you when the chips were down I fell apart when i hit the town Where were you when i couldn't get arrested Where were you when the lights went out I blew a fuse, did you hear me shout Where on earth do i look for heavens sake There's a brotherhood that i want to see Gotta take my share of equality There's no harmony in a one man band Even god almighty needs a helping hand Please don't desert me now There's no time and i can't fight another day Please don't desert me now You've gotta show me mercy when i'm helpless Show me mercy when i'm helpless Shine a light in the dark Hold me back when i get reckless Shine a light in the dark Stand me up if i get legless Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Shine a light in the dark Meanwhile Shine A Light In The Dark
