Iheard it on the news today
Everybody's got the blues today
These things affect us all
So, many people went to church and prayed
I was among the ones who stayed
I stayed at home
All alone
See I've got no place to go
Except to the people that I know
Wasn't in the mood to go into a bar
And at church I can't express my grief
Without expressing my belief
And I can't express what I haven't gotYou see I've never been a religious man
I want you all to understand
That I ain't got no-one to rely on, but my fellow man
So won't you please help me
Won't you please help me
Won't you please help me through these difficult timesI ended up going anyway
So I drank the night away
Trying to drown my sorrow
Everybody I know did the same
So I guess I'm not the one to blame
Still I end up blaming myself tomorrow
Now put your faith in Jesus they say
I need someone who's here today
Not someone who died
Two thousand years ago
Oh, I want someone to touch me right now
Take my hand and say we'll make it through somehow
Make it through somehow
YeahSee I've never been a religious man
I want you all to understand
That I ain't got no-one to rely on, but my fellow man
So won't you please help me
Won't you please help me
Won't you please help me through these difficult times
