Shine A Light In The Dark - 10cc

I’ve been lost before and i had to pay

It was never easy but i found a way

Well the journey was hard and the road was tough

There were times when i cried lord i’ve had enough

Please don’t desert me now

Don’t you leave me stranded now i need a friend

Please don’t desert me now

You’ve gotta show me mercy when i’m helpless

Show me mercy when i’m helpless

Shine a light in the dark

Hold me back when i get reckless

Shine a light in the dark

Stand me up if i get legless

Shine a light in the dark

Shine a light in the dark

Shine a light in the dark

I’ve been down and out and i’ve been fit to drop

But the thought of you wouldn’t let me stop

Now a man should stand upon his own two feet

Because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet

Please don’t desert me now

I can hear the reaper calling in the wind

Please don’t desert me now

You’ve gotta show me mercy when i’m helpless

Show me mercy when i’m helpless

Shine a light in the dark

Hold me back when i get reckless

Shine a light in the dark

Stand me up if i get legless

Shine a light in the dark

Shine a light in the dark

Shine a light in the dark

Where were you when the chips were down

I fell apart when i hit the town

Where were you when i couldn’t get arrested

Where were you when the lights went out

I blew a fuse, did you hear me shout

Where on earth do i look for heavens sake

There’s a brotherhood that i want to see

Gotta take my share of equality

There’s no harmony in a one man band

Even god almighty needs a helping hand

Please don’t desert me now

There’s no time and i can’t fight another day

Please don’t desert me now

You’ve gotta show me mercy when i’m helpless

Show me mercy when i’m helpless

Shine a light in the dark

Hold me back when i get reckless

Shine a light in the dark

Stand me up if i get legless

Shine a light in the dark

Shine a light in the dark

Shine a light in the dark
