You Need a Saviour

by Michael W. Smith & Deborah D. Smith

on Project (1982)



Made a friend last night, or you thought you did

Had a drink, had a talk, took a drive

Shared the night, gave up a part of your soul

Now she's gone and you're a little less alive



Shake it off, never let your feelings begin

But your defenses are down and the fear is closing in



Chorus:

Yes, you really need a Saviour

Somehow you've known it all along

Yes, you really need a Saviour

You know you've heard it for so long

Yes, you really need a Saviour

Someone to come and lead you on

You need a Saviour

You need a Saviour

It's time



Told yourself today just for your own sake

What was lost wouldn't cost anyway

Life's a one night stand, this time you'll win

The up and down, life-long game that you play



Shake it off, never let your feelings begin

But your defenses are down and the fear is closing in



Chorus
