When there´s nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don´t, you don´t
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don´t you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out

And when there´s nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain´t changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don´t you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You´re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you´re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you´re gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I´m not a soldier
I got soul, but I´m not a soldier
...

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don´t you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You´re gonna bring yourself down
You´re gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don´t you put me on the back burner
Yeah, you´re gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone´s lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I´ve done
All these things that I´ve done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
