Jesus, please have mercy on me, have mercy on me
+
Have mercy on my family, mercy on me
+
I got the weight of the world on my back
+
Feet on the table, my balance is bad
+
Ain't got no cape, but I'm fresh off the leash
+
Everyone's telling me
+
I need help
+
I need help
+
I need help
+
I need help
+
Yeah
+
I need help, admittin' that was the first step
+
Had to go out on my own, leave the bird's nest
+
Leap of faith but my wings didn't work yet
+
Fell to the ground and the pain was the worst yet
+
Yeah, that's a lesson I ain't learned yet, stripe I ain't earned yet
+
Gotta get knocked down twice so the third gon' hurt less
+
Got to the church steps, couldn't take the first step
+
I need help, I need some guidance, somebody controllin' it
+
Got me a Bible, I took it right home with me
+
Put it right next to my bed and I said that I'd read it
+
The truth is I ain't even open it
+
If I'm bein' honest, I don't even pray
+
I need somebody to show me the way
+
I need somebody to tell me that nothin' is wrong with me
+
Sayin' that
+
I need help
+
And everything 'round me is falling to pieces
+
I need help
+
And I cannot even remember what peace is
+
I need help
+
Feel like I'm slippin' right into the deep end
+
I need help
+
Lookin' for reasons
+
I needed help, I said it, what's step two?
+
Got me lookin' for the next move
+
'Cause they keep sayin' that I could be rescued
+
The chains could be let loose, says who?
+
Boxed it away but the stress grew
+
Put a lock in a chain but it crept through
+
Yeah, I got regrets too, got a lot of things I could confess too
+
I put it in a letter but I don't know who to send to
+
Pride talk, that's my ego
+
Thinkin' I'm my own god, yes, I had to dethrone
+
Thought I had it in control 'til I hit a steep slope
+
Thought I had the tree of life, never let the seeds grow
+
All I needed was some hope
+
All along had it right next to my bed
+
Opened the book with my son and I read
+
In the hopes that one day that he doesn't feel shame when he says
+
I need help
+
Everything 'round me is falling to pieces
+
I need help
+
And I cannot even remember what peace is
+
I need help
+
Feel like I'm slippin' right into the deep end
+
I need help
+
Lookin' for reasons, oh
+
Jesus, please have mercy on me, have mercy on me
+
Have mercy on my family, mercy on me
+
I got the weight of the world on my back
+
Feet on the table, my balance is bad
+
Ain't got no cape, but I'm fresh off the leash
+
Everyone tellin' me I need help
+
I need help (I need, I need)
+
I need help
+
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord
+
I need help
+
