Sometimes we need a hand on our shoulder
Someone to turn to when the going gets rough
And sometimes we need a little compassion
Sometimes we need a little more love
I've been to the river, but I couldn't cross over
The water's too deep, and I was alone
But when the winds of despair had driven me forward
I felt my heart sink like a stone
So brother, I need you to come stand beside me
Sister, I need you. Can you help me be strong
This place that I've wandered is so dark and lonely
So come light your candle, help me find my way home
Sometimes we need a hand on our shoulder
Someone to turn to when the going gets rough
And sometimes we need a little compassion
Sometimes we need a little more love
Now I see you standing there in the distance
And you see me crawling. I'm down on my knees
Lord, I'm so hungry for the fruit of forgiveness
So save me a serving, cause I'm so tired and weak
Sometimes we need a hand on our shoulder
Someone to turn to when the going gets rough
And sometimes we need a little compassion
Sometimes we need a little more love
Brother, do you have a moment
Sister, do you have the time
Can somebody show me what real love is
I wanna see Jesus in your eyes
Sometimes we need a hand on our shoulder
Someone to turn to when the going gets rough
And sometimes we need a little compassion
Sometimes we need a little more love
Sometimes we need a hand on our shoulder
Someone to turn to when the going gets rough
And sometimes we need a little compassion
Sometimes we need a little more love
Sometimes we need a hand on our shoulder
Someone to turn to when the going gets rough
And sometimes we need a little compassion
Sometimes we need a little more love
