Obstacles Songtext
von Rag Men

I′m tired of running away
From obstacles in my way
Breaking me, making me fall
Am I weak? Have I lost control?
Making my goals seem so distant
Making destiny out to be a dream
I feel like I'm losing this battle
Becoming a slave of my own sorrow

O Lord, help me
It′s not easy being
Lord, give me a new life, a new reason for living


As I crawl on my hands and my knees
Isn't this hope a friend in the pit?
So many think my life is sweet
But it's bitter, a grave to me
I wish others could walk in my shoes
And realize what I′ve been through
Next time you see a smile on my face
Look deep in my eyes and witness my pain

O Lord, help me
It′s not easy being
Lord, give me a new life, a new reason for living
O Lord, help me
It's not easy being
Lord, give me a new life, a new reason for living

As I walk with my head down in shame
To realize I cannot continue this way
Must be bold, must be strong and be true
′Cause this world is nothing but straight-up cruel
So I look at myself and I say
I won't slip through cracks, and I won′t decay
My faith has got to change
Holding my soul before it fades away

Lord, help me
It's not easy being
Lord, give me a new life, a new reason for living
