The Brand New Heavies Follow

I was born in the city, there's no flies on me
Life can't deliver, no surprise to me
Got a head full of trouble, the world's weight on my back
I'm a fighter, I survive like that

I'm a modern enigma, I am living proof
Cold eyes speaking volumes of my troubled youth
I believe in the future from mistakes I have grown
Leaving the shadows which were once my home

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Been so long in the bitter, city air I breathe
Seen a million believers cry in disbelief
I won't give in to the pressure, keep my spirit intact
'Cause I know when I need you, you will watch my back

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer

They can't take you away from me
When they try, it only makes me stronger
Through the dark it's your light I see
Helping to show me the way

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter
Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Need your hand to help me over
Need your shoulder
Need your light to bring me closer
To your shelter

Need your hand to help me, help me over
Need your light to bring me, bring me closer
Need your hand to help me, help me over
Need your light to bring me, bring me closer

I was born in the city, there's no flies on me
Life can't deliver, no surprise to me
Got a head full of trouble, the world's weight on my back
