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
