Reason to carry on

Another back street drinking wine
sleeping rough and losing time
I knelt down in the gutter
and I offered up a prayer.
I wanted to hear him answer
but he don't come round here.
 
I listened hard but I'll tell you
I didn't know which way to go
I listened hard but I'll tell you
No one came to save me I know.
 
So I sat back by the roadside
many times I've took that ride
I tell you friend it was so cold
that I offered up my soul.
This time I asked for nothing
didn't want a single thing.
 
I listened hard and I'll tell you
I didn't know which way to go
I listened hard and I'll tell you
It was then he came  to save me I know.

Now its still hard but I take time
and he helps me heal my mind
and if feel that I'm falling
I find his voice and let be mine
I take one step every new day
and I listen to words he says.

I listen hard and I'll tell you
I now know which way to go
I listened hard and I'll tell you
If I follow him he'll save me I know.
