And I’ll ask you, my dear brother Won’t you please lend a helping hand My life's last good fortune Ran away with my twenty hens Ant a way to feed my family Not a prayer of sleeping tonight And I’ll ask you, my dear brother Won’t you help me see the light 'Cause I’ve been waiting On a prayer to ease my troubled mind I’ve been waiting on something To gone calm these raising tides You’ve been living real well And I’ve been watching you smile I’ve been waiting on someone To make living feel worthwhile Hold, holding on We’re just hold, holding on We lost everything we own Can’t make a call without a phone So I'm shouting on you brother We’re just holding on And I hate that we’ll be known For dame everything we didn’t own And I’ll ask you, my dear brother Won’t you please lend a helping hand My life’s last good fortune Ran away with my twenty hens Ant a way to feed my family Not a prayer of sleeping tonight And I’ll ask you, my dear brother Won’t you help me see the light
