God help me,   I don't see how I can live this way   And I don't know why he's touching me   Won't you shine in my direction and help me?   Won't you lend me your protection and help me?      God help me   Believe me, this wasn't what I wanted   But no, I can't leave, he's got me   Won't you shine in my direction and help me?   Won't you lend me your protection and help me?      Am I guilty or am I just waiting around   For the tide to come in so the truth can come out   If I had a dollar for every time   I repented the sin and commit the same crime   I'd be sitting on top of the world today   I'd be sitting on top of the world today      God, God help me   Just maybe I'll learn to help myself   Speak to me, don't leave me, he's burning me   Won't you shine in my direction and help me?   Won't you lend me your protection and help me?      Places, everyone, this is a test   Throw your stones, do your damage, your worst   And your best, all the world is a judge   But that doesn't compare to what I do to myself   When you're not there   And if I had a dollar for every time   I repented the sin and commit the same crime   I'd be sitting on top of the world today   I'd be sitting on top of the world today      Don't make me choose, I've got too much to lose   Don't make me choose, I've got too much to lose   Don't make me choose, I've got too much to lose   Don't make me choose, I've got too much to fucking lose!      For I am with you, and also with You   I am with you, and also with You      God help me
