My voice is broken,
Got a broken string, a broken wing,
And everything makes me wanna cry.
And my only love's gone away to stay,
Can't even look forward to the end of the day
To come home to her at night.
Oh, lord, give me peace,
And put my sorry, singin', sad old soul to ease.

And bring me hope.
I need a little, just a little.
Give me strength.
I need a little, just a little.
An offering of faith.
I need a little, just a little.
Bring me hope.
I need a little so I can hold on.

A dreamer in a dark hotel,
Like a silver coin drowin' at the bottom of a well.
The blue bird's back, singin' in the willow,
Washin' his wings in the water in my pillow
So wake me up in autumn leaves
To the part of me that still believes
There's beauty on the other side of the river.

Oh, lord, give me peace,
And put my sorry, singin', sad old soul to ease
And bring me hope.
I need a little, just a little.
Give me strength.
I need a little, just a little.
An offering of faith.
I need a little, just a little.
Bring me hope.
I need a little so I can hold on.

Oh, get me out of this wishing well.
A dreamer dying in a dark hotel.
Break me out of this prison cell.
Only love can save me now.
