Somewhere along the way
I found the meaning
Woke up dreaming
Along the way
Never quite seems the same
When you awaken
And making up for the time
Is such a price to pay
Then they take your dream away
And it just ain't fair

So help me thru the night, mama
Help me to ease the pain
And tell me it's alright
Help me thru the night
Once again

That's the danger in pretending
Trying to defend yourself
From someone else's war
Don't know what they're fighting for
And they just don't care

So help me to see the light, mama
Open my eyes again
And tell me it's alright
Help me thru the night
Once again
Ooh, defend me
