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.
Oh Lord it gets so complicated
Oh Lord I don't know what to do
God! It looks so hopeless
But I know it isn't true
What is this that gives me hope
In the middle of the night
And makes me turn to you
What is this that lights my way
Through the hours of the day?
Tell me what to do
Oh Lord they say that I don't know you
Oh Lord they say I am deceived
God! You tell me different
I have no choice but to believe
What is this that gives me hope
In the middle of the night
Makes me run to you
What is this that lights my way
Through the hours of the day?
Tell me that it's
Oh, they make you feel so foolish
Oh, they make you out the fool
God, it looks so hopeless
But I know it isn't true
What is this that gives me hope
In the middle of the night
Makes me turn to you
What is this that lights my way
Through the hours of the day?
Tell me that it's you
