o lord don't turn your back on me
o lord i need you here with me
o lord don't turn your back on me
o lord i need you here with me
o lord don't turn your back on me
o lord i need you here with me
o lord don't turn your back on me
o lord i need you here with me
there's a sadness in my eyes
'cause there's an anchor in my heart
and it weighs me down inside
and it's holding back my art
and i know you say that it's alright
and you'll be here through the dark of the night
but there's something in me saying that you'll leave
and i'm terrified the feeling's right
o lord don't turn your back on me
o lord i need you here with me
o lord don't turn your back on me
o lord i need you here with me
