Patti Smith - The Essential Patti Smith

Privilege

I see it all before me
The days of love & torment
The nights of rock and roll
I see it all before me
Sometimes my spirit is empty
I don't have the will to go on
I wish someone would send me
Energy

Give me something
Give me something to give
Oh God, give me something
A reason to live

My body is aching
Don't want sympathy
Come on, come and love me
Come on, set me free
Set me free

Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me through the path of righteousness for His name's sake
And yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me

Hey Lord, I am waitin' for you
Oh God, I am waitin' for you
Waitin' to open Your 98 wounds
And be Thee, be Thee
Lead me, oh, lead me

Leave me something
Leave me something to live
Oh God, give me something
A reason to live

I do not want no handout
No, no, no, not sympathy
Just come on and love me
Come on, set me free
Set me free

Come on, set me free
Set me free
Come on, set me free
Set me free
Come on, set me free
Set me free

Oh, I am so young, so goddamn young (set me free)
Oh, I am so young, so goddamn young (set me free)
Oh, I am so young, so goddamn young (set me free)
Set me free

In the presence of my enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil
Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days of my life
'Cause I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
I've reached
