John Schlitt Where Would I Be
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?
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
(bridge)
Shine on me
(Shine, shine, shine, shine Your lovin' light on me) x4
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
(chorus) x 2
One lost soul on a stormy sea
If the Lord didn't shine on me
