This is a song about how we all need help on our way. Our friends may leave us behind. Life might leave us behind but we don't want the almighty to leave us behind.
It's a hard, hard highway
I don't know where it ends
It's a struggle to stay straight
Every time the highway bends
And I'm in the open country
With no maps, no place to stay
I've tried so hard to get there
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away and disappear from sight
These hands they pull at me
I have no strength to fight
By myself I'm nothing with nothing more to say
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me fade away
I have lived in darkness
It's much too crowded there
The light becomes invisible
They suffer everywhere
Yes I've been lost before
Please hear me when I pray
If you truly do surround me
Don't let me fade away
CHORUS
Every time I've tried
To go my way alone
I don't get very far before
I can't find my way home
Then all I do is suffer
And then I curse the day
Don't let me disappear
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me disappear and vanish from your sight
These hands pull at me, I have no will to fight
By myself I'm nothing, with nothing more to say
Don't let me disappear, don't let me fade away
