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 wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand.

Another heart breaks, another head aches,
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 gold-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,

[x10]
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,
You're gonna bring yourself down,
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.
