Help Me
Nina Hagen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another mile, just one more mile;
I'm tired of walkin' all alone.
Lord, help me smile
Another smile, just one more smile;
You know I just can't make it on my own.
I thought that I could get by - by myself.
But now I know I just can't take it any more.
With a humble heart, on a bended knee,
I'm beggin' You please Lord help me
Сome down from Your golden throne to me, to lonely me;
I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand.
Remove the chains of darkness
Let me see, Lord let me see;
Just where I fit into your master plan.
I never thought I needed help before;
I thought that I could get by - by myself.
But I know I just can't take it any more.
With a humble heart, on a bended knee,
I'm beggin' You please help me
And with a humble heart, on a bended knee,
I'm beggin' You please Lord help me
