Rev Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was alone, and had nothing
I asked for a friend to help me bear the pain
No one came, except God
When I needed a breath to rise, from my sleep
No one could help me, except God
When all I saw was sadness, and I needed answers
No one heard me, except God
I look for no other name, except God
