I Need Help

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 Admitting that was the first step Had to go out on my own, leave the birds 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 controlling 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 being honest, I don't even pray I need somebody to show me the way I need somebody to tell me that Nothing is wrong with me saying that I need help When everything around me is falling to pieces I need help When I cannot even remember what peace is I need help Feel like I'm slipping right into the deep end I need help I'm Looking for reasons I needed help I said it, what's step two? Got me looking for the next move Cause they keep saying 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 to I put it in a letter but I don't know who to send to Pride talk, that's my ego Thinking I'm my own God yes I had a dethrone Thought I had it in control till 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 Open 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 When everything around me is falling to pieces I need help When I cannot even remember what peace is I need help Feel like I'm slipping right into the deep end I need help I'm Looking for reasons Jesus please have 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, I need) I need help (Oh Lord, oh Lord) I need help
