I've spent my whole lifetime in a world where the sunshine
made excuses for not hanging 'round
I've squandered emotions on the slightest of notions
and the first easy loving I've found
Soon all the good times, the gay times and play times
like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me
and keep me from blowing away
There've been times that I've trembled and my mind's remembered
the days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show but these lines that I know
are beginning to show in my face
So Lord if you're listenin' you know I'm no christian
and I ain't got much coming to me
But won't you send down some sunshine, throw out a lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
Lord if you hear me, touch me and hold me,
and keep me from blowing away
