Standing cold and scared on top of blue hill
There came one moment when I lost my will
I prayed for mercy, please Lord take me away
Or give me sunshine where I've only seen gray

The past had a hold on me; it can't be denied
And the changes didn't come easily

I've been lonely
I've been cheated
I've been misunderstood
I've been washed up
I've been put down
And told I'm no good
But with you I belong
'Cause you helped me be strong
There's a change in my life
Since you came along

I don't mind workin' so hard every day, no
And I don't pay no mind to what people say
'Cause after all the pain I've been through
Lord knows I'd give up everything just to love only you

All my life I've held my head bent in shame
But now I've found you, and with you I'll remain

A man gets crazy when his life is all wrong
And a heart gets weary when it doesn't belong
When the road gets rocky, Lord, you've got to keep on
Let the new light come shinin' on through
