Somewhere along the way

I found the meaning

Woke up dreaming

Along the way

Never quite seems the same

When you awaken

And making up for the time

Is such a price to pay

Then they take your dream away

And it just ain't fair



So help me thru the night, mama

Help me to ease the pain

And tell me it's alright

Help me thru the night

Once again



That's the danger in pretending

Trying to defend yourself

From someone else's war

Don't know what they're fighting for

And they just don't care



So help me to see the light, mama

Open my eyes again

And tell me it's alright

Help me thru the night

Once again

Ooh, defend me...
