When I hit the bottle and the dope came by
When bad went to worse the truth became a lie
But the walls of my room were falling apart
When I was far away from a new start
When the key got stuck in the door to my mind
When emptiness struck me and I walked the thin line
The words were millions just like the stars
That's when you came in and hit me in twelve bars
Your help was more than I could ask for
But it came in right on time
More than I could ask for
No longer beaten by the shine
When I lost my courage and I lost my pride
When the haze of dust felt like tears in my eyes
When the game of life was tumbling down
That's when you came in with a brand new sound
Your help was more than I could ask for
And it came in right on time
More than I could ask for
No longer beaten by the shine
