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 want a meaning 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 blackburner 
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 cold-hearted boy I used to be 

Yeah, you know you got to help me out 
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner 
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 

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 blackburner 
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 blackburner 
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down 

Over and out, 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
