Lay Your Hands - Simon Webbe

Sometimes life can be a burden

Tryna stay one step ahead

I feel the world upon my shoulder each time

I’m standing out on the edge

And my hopes have all deserted me

Like they washed away in the sand

And it’s hurting my pride, tryna survive

But I know I stand a chance

When you lay your hands

Oh yeah

'Cause it’s the only thing I have that still makes sense

(Oh baby, when I’m calling out)

Give me love and affection

Keep telling me, show me the way

(Oh, if you see me falling down)

Lift me up from the shadows

Will you take me away to a better place?

(And when I’m in my darkest hour)

You’re by my side to turn the tide

Until the suffering fades

When life is getting me down

Getting me down, I’m close to defeat

Come and lay your hands on me

Feel this road is getting longer now

And I’m too far away from home

Still I gotta keep on moving on

But I can’t do it on my own

Baby, keep my head above water

Help me swim for my life

'Cause the game is getting harder

The strain is gettin' stronger

And I can only face the fight

When you lay your hands

Oh yeah

'Cause it’s the only thing I have that still makes sense

(Oh baby, when I’m calling out)

Give me love and affection

Keep telling me, show me the way

(Oh, if you see me falling down)

Lift me up from the shadows

Will you take me away to a better place?

(And when I’m in my darkest hour)

You’re by my side to turn the tide

Until the suffering fades

When life is getting me down

Getting me down, I’m close to defeat

Come and lay your hands on me

'Til I’m healed again

Rediscovered my strengths

Those bitter blues are gone

Oh, gone

(Oh baby, when I’m calling out)

Give me love and affection

Keep telling me, show me the way

(Oh, if you see me falling down)

Lift me up from the shadows

Will you take me away to a better place?

(And when I’m in my darkest hour)

You’re by my side to turn the tide

Until the suffering fades

When life is getting me down

Getting me down, I’m close to defeat

Come and lay your hands on me

Come, lay your hands on me, on me, yeah yeah

Lay your hands, lay your hands

Come, lay your hands on me

Lay your hands, lay your hands
