I was born in the city

There's no flies on me

Life can't deliver

No surprise to me

Got a head full of trouble

The world's weight on my back

I'm a fighter

I survive like that



I'm a modern enigma

I am living proof

Cold eyes speaking volumes

Of my troubled youth

I believe in the future

>From mistakes I have grown

Leaving the shadows

Which were once my home



Need your hand to help me over

Need your shoulder

Need your light to bring me closer

To your shelter



Been so long in the bitter

City air I breath

Seen a million believers

Cry in disbelief

I won't give in to the pressure

Keep my spirit intact

'Cause I know when I need you

You will watch my back



CHORUS:

Need your hand to help me over

Need your shoulder

Need light to bring me closer

To your shelter

Need your hand to help me over

Need your shoulder

Need your light to bring me closer

To your shelter



They can't take you away from me

When they try it only makes me stronger

Through the dark it's your light I see

Helping to show me the way



Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter



Repeat Chorus Once
