Lyrics:

ive 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 ive had enough
please dont desert me now
dont you leave me stranded now i need a friend
please dont desert me now
youve gotta show me mercy when im helpless
show me mercy when im 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
ive been down and out and ive been fit to drop
but the thought of you wouldnt let me stop
now a man should stand upon his own two feet
because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet
please dont desert me now
i can hear the reaper calling in the wind
please dont desert me now
youve gotta show me mercy when im helpless
show me mercy when im 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 couldnt 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
theres a brotherhood that i want to see
gotta take my share of equality
theres no harmony in a one man band
even god almighty needs a helping hand
please dont desert me now
theres no time and i cant fight another day
please dont desert me now
youve gotta show me mercy when im helpless
show me mercy when im 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
