take my life

there's a river that's swollen with rain

you wouldn't guess that i've known so much pain

i have a heart

swollen with pride

you wouldn't guess what i hold inside

oh

it feels so good to have you around

i feel the walls come tumblin' down

i'm ready to change

ready to feel

to be revealed

take my life in your hands

take my love

be my man

i'm tired of all the lonely nights

i need someone to hold me in the candlelight

take my life

i wanna live

i have so much more i want to give

i need a love that cuts like a knife take my life

there's a river that's runnin' wild

could i take you back when i was a child

i want to see just who i am

to be revealed

take my life in your hands

take my love

be my man

i'm tired of all the lonely nights

i need someone to hold me in the candlelight

take my life

i wanna live

i have so much more i want to give

i need a love that cuts like a knife take my life

take my hand and lead me

with your love you can free me

oh

take the chains

away from my heart

take my life
