Where Would I Be

John Schlitt


Living the life, but I went too far
Chasing a dream, livin’ like a rock star
Told me I made it whispered in my ear
One night like the next, year after year
Dreams got shattered, feels like a trap
Nothin’ satisfies, how can I go back?

Where would I be?
Where would I be?
If the Lord didn’t shine on me
One lost soul on a stormy sea
If the Lord didn’t shine on me

Startin’ at the bottom
It’s the end of the show
Six feet under seems the way to go
Then I found an answer in the strangest place
Nothin’ like forgiveness in His warm embrace
What seems impossible so far away
It’s now the victory It’s easy to say

Shine on me
(Shine, shine, shine, shine Your lovin’ light on me)
Light on me

Year after year walkin’ a rocky line
Really doesn’t matter how hard I tried
Even though I stumble almost every day
I know forgiveness is one step away
Time keeps passin’ and it’s easy to see
Amazing grace is setting me free

One lost soul on a stormy sea
If the Lord didn’t shine on me
