Lyrics

Cup of coffee with the daily times, I read the news and prayed
There are children dying and leaders lying. Are we too lost to save?
This world's become a war on earth where fighting keeps the peace
Lord, have you plans of stepping in, or have you turned the other cheek?
I could crawl back into bed right now - tired of waking up and being down
I swear it just gets harder every day

I've been faithful, I've been strong
And I've learned to lean on the one shoulder I can count on
I've been blessed, but Lord, you humble me
Cause I know the closest I can be to you is on my knees
I don't ask much when I pray
But, Lord, I'm gonna need a little help today

They were lettin' go of pink balloons, but I held onto mine
She was just too young at four years old, and I couldn't say goodbye
Then I walked by a yellow ribbon tied 'round a tree at Mrs. Malone's
Yeah, it's been forty years now, and she still thinks he's coming home
And on the corner lot where an old man raised five kids and spent his whole life's pay
There's a note on the door from the national bank

I've been faithful, I've been strong
And I've learned to lean on the one shoulder I can count on
I've been blessed, but Lord, you humble me
Cause I know the closest I can be to you is on my knees
I don't ask much when I pray
But, Lord, I'm gonna need a little help today

People fightin' wars that they can't win
The cost of life is killin' them
This world's gone to Hell til you come back again

I've been faithful, I've been strong
And I've learned to lean on the one shoulder I can count on
I've been blessed, but Lord, you humble me
Cause I know the closest I can be to you is on my knees
I don't ask much when I pray
But, Lord, I'm gonna need a little help today
Lord, I'm gonna need a little help today
