[Verse 1]
I see it all before me
The days of love and torment
The nights of rock-and-roll
I see it all before me
Sometimes my spirit's empty
Don't have the will to go on
I wish someone would send me
Energy
[Chorus]
Give me something
Give me something to give
Oh God, give me something
A reason to live
My body is aching
Don't want sympathy
Come on, come and love me
Come on, set me free
Set me free
[Interlude]
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down In green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me through the path of righteousness for His name's sake
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me
[Verse 2]
Hey Lord, I'm waitin' for you
Oh God, I'm waitin' for you
Waitin' to open Your ninety-eight wounds
And be Thee, be Thee
Lead me, oh, lead me
[Chorus]
Leave me something
Leave me something to live
Oh God, give me something
A reason to live
I don't want no handout
No, not sympathy
Come on, come and love me
Come on, set me free
Set me free (Come on, set me free)
Set me free (Come on, set me free)
Set me free (Come on, set me free)
Set me free
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn young (Set me free)
Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn young (Set me free)
Oh, I'm so young, so goddamn
Set me free
[Outro]
In the presence of my enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil
My cup runneth over
Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Ah, damn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Here I am
