Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus

Reach out and touch faith

I've been a martyr for love 
And I will die in the flames 
As I draw my last breath 
As I'm close in on death 
I will call out your name 

I've been a martyr for love 
Nailed up on the cross 
While you're having your fun 
As the damage is done 
I'm assessing the cost 

I knew what I was letting myself in for 
I knew that I could never even the score 

I've been a martyr for love 
I need to be by your side 
I have knelt at your feet 
I have felt you deceit 
Could have leave if I tried 

I've been a martyr for love 
Tortured every hour 
From the day I was born 
I've been moved like a pawn 
By the greatest of powers 

I knew that I would have to suffer in vain 
A way that I would never outgrow the pain 

I've been a martyr for love 
I've been a martyr for love 
I've been a martyr for love

Things get damaged
Things get broken 
I thought we'd manage 
But words left unspoken 
Left us so brittle 
There was so little left to give 

Angels with silver wings 
Shouldn't know suffering 
I wish I could take the pain for you 
If God has a master plan 
That only He understands 
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through 

Things get damaged 
Things get broken 
I thought we'd manage 
But words left unspoken 
Left us so brittle 
There was so little left to give 

I pray you learn to trust 
Have faith in both of us 
And keep room in your hearts for two 

Things get damaged 
Things get broken 
I thought we'd manage 
But words left unspoken 
Left us so brittle 
There was so little left to give

Complicating, circulating 
New life, new life 
Operating, generating 
New life, new life 

Transitions to another place 
So the time will pass more slowly 
Your features fuse and your shadow's red 
Like a film I've seen now show me 

Complicating, circulating
New life, new life 
Operating, generating 
New life, new life 

This place is hidden and we're out of sight 
And the road just leads to nowhere 
The stranger in the door is the same as before 
So the question answers nowhere 

Complicating, circulating 
New life, new life 
Operating, generating
New life, new life 

I stand still stepping on the shady streets 
And I watched that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light 
Now the room is lit, red danger 

Complicating, circulating 
New life, new life 
Operating, generating 
New life, new life
 

We slip and slide as we fall in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

We walk together
We're walking down the street
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Every time I think of you
I know we have to meet
And I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

It's getting hotter
It's a burning love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

And when it rains
You're shining down for me
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough
Just like a rainbow
You know you set me free
And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough

You're like an angel
And you give me your love
And I just can't seem to get enough of

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
