 Somewhere  along the way I found a meaning
 woke  up dreaming along the  way.
 Never  quite seems the same when you're awaking
 and  making up for the time you've such a  price to  pay
 
 
 and  then they take the dream away, and it just ain't fair, mama.
 So help  me through the night,  mama, help  me to ease the pain,
 
 
 Tell  me it's alright, help me through the night, once again.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And that's  the danger in pretending,
 tryin'  to defend yourself from someone  else's  war,
 you  don't know  what  they're  fighting  for,  and no  they just  don't  care,  no.
 So help  me to see the light,  mama, open  my eyes again
 
 
 Tell  me it's alright, help me through the night, once again.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Won't you help me, mama, won't you help me.
