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 head aches, another heart breaks

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
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on

If you can hold on
