Helpless One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fall away
So many will fall away
I carry the shame
I carry the weight
That I feel in the shame
Fear alone
Is why I never wanna roam
It isn't enough
No, it isn't love
And yet I remain
It isn't enough
No, it isn't love
And yet I remain
How could I let you go?
When there is nothing for me?
How could I be so low
When I'm alone and I try, and try, and try to pray?
Try and try to pray
N-n-n-no no
Merciful God, I come
I know you listen to the poor and the helpless one
I feel alone and I try and try and try to wait
Try and try to pray
N-n-n-no no
Discoveries
I'm tired of discoveries
A reality fake
Yeah, I cannot take what the earth has inside
Remedy, woah
I hear you have the remedy
To dwell in the night
Shatters the light
That must have bled your eyes
How could I let you go?
When there is nothing for me?
How could I be so low
When I'm alone and I try, and try, and try to pray?
Try and try to pray
N-n-n-no no
Merciful God, I come
I know you listen to the poor and the helpless one
I feel alone and I try, and try, and try to wait
Try and try to pray
N-n-n-no no
When I read the word I am comforted by your name
But never seem to grow the relationship of my faith
God, I need you here 'cause I'm weakening in the state
To look like a believer who is firm, and I'm afraid
How could I let you go?
When there is nothing for me?
How could I be so low
When I'm alone and I try, and try, and try to pray?
Try and try to pray
N-n-n-no no
Merciful God, I come
I know you listen to the poor and the helpless one
I feel alone and I try, and try, and try to wait
Try and try to pray
N-n-n-no no
Try and try to pray, woah-oh-oh
Try and try to pray
