Helpless
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.
I gotta see you moving fast
See you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last
Never fade away.
Gotta see the lights above
Make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all a-fire
Set it all a-light
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all a-light
Gotta make it man
I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all a-fire
Gotta treat you right.
I can see the flashing lights
Lit before your love
Gotta hear the thunder roar
Coming from above.
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I'm gonna set you all a-light
Gotta make it man
I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I can see the stars
But, I can't see what's going on
Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.
Only time will tell
If I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine
Music is my destiny.
Cannot squeeze the life from me!
I can see the stars
But I can't see what's going on
Every night alone
I sing my song just for fun.
Only time will tell
If I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine
Music is my destiny.
Cannot squeeze the life from me!
