[Verse 1]
Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hanging 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade

[Chorus]
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

[Verse 2]
There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
[Chorus]
