Let It Be Me
Shelby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see it your eyes
And it's written in your face
Love's taken its toll on you
And left a bitter taste

You're tired and you're lonely
You're beaten and you're bruised
Your heart has grown weary
Just trying to find a little truth

It might be me
Lord, it might be me
If you still have an ounce of faith
I might be what you need, oh

It might be me, oh
It might be me to set you free
If you're still reaching for the light, Lord
Well, it might be me

Have a little courage
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, take my hand
All anybody needs in this old world
Is just one good friend

And I'm telling you that it might be me
Lord, it might be me
If you're still reaching for the light, Lord
It might be me, yeah

Lay all your troubles down on me, baby
Oh, I'll show you what to believe in
I know just what you're feeling
Everybody needs some healing, loving, can't you see? Yeah

It might be, it might be me, oh baby
It might be me to set you free
If you're still reaching for the light, oh
Well, it might be me, yes, yeah




If you're still reaching for the light
Well, it might be me
