Don’t (F)leave me
hun gry for love, chas ing (Am)dreams,
but (G)what a bout us?
(C)Show me
you’re will ing to fight,
that (G)I’m still
the love of your life.
I (F)know we
call this our home, but I
still feel
a lone.
I see their round es, look in their in no cent eyes; they’re just chil dren
from the out side.
I’m work ing hard,
I tell my self they’ll be fine; they’re in de pend ent.
But on the in side,
oh, I can hear them say ing: (C)Lead me
with strong hands,
(G)stand up

So, Fa ther, give me the strength
to be ev ’ry thing I’m called to be.
Oh, Fa ther, show me the way

(Am)Lead me, ’cause I can’t do this a lone.
