Lyrics
[Intro]
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I was twenty when the summer felt endless
Now the calendar burns through my hands
I keep counting the years like loose change
Lord I hope that you hear where I stand
[Pre-Chorus]
My knees ache when the morning comes
The mirror shows a stranger's face
And every birthday candle burns a little quicker
[Chorus]
Lord help me understand
Why we're born to say goodbye
Lord help us all tonight
I don't want to leave this life
Lord help me understand
Show me something I can hold
Lord help us all
Before my story's told
[Post-Chorus]
Help me
Help me
Oh Lord
[Verse 2]
You know I'm scared I'll admit it
Not perfect in a world that's cracked
My mother's hands are folded quiet
I keep asking what comes after that
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock ticks loud in the kitchen
Every second steals a little more
And I'm begging for a reason
[Chorus]
Lord help me understand
Why we're born to say goodbye
Lord help us all tonight
I don't want to leave this life
Lord help me understand
Show me something I can hold
Lord help us all
Before my story's told
[Post-Chorus]
Help me
Help me
Oh Lord
[Bridge]
Show me a sign
Show me your light
Let me know you're real
Let me know you care
Show me a sign
(Show me a sign)
Show me your light
(Show me your light)
[Chorus]
Lord help me understand
Why we're born to say goodbye
Lord help us all tonight
I don't want to leave this life
Lord help me understand
Show me something I can hold
Lord help us all
Before my story's told
[Post-Chorus]
Help me
Help me
Oh Lord
Help me
Help me
Oh Lord
