ONE OF YOU

I cleared the table
Put the light out
Walked into the room
Nightly ritual, habitual
Just me and the moon

Night holds the spirit
Sometimes closer to the flame
Then there is no comfort
In my solitary game

So I reached my hand out
To all the ones I love
I raised my eyes up
To the Gods above

Please help me
Any way you can
Please help me
I'm a drowning man

Then all my friends came by
They sat here when I cried
And all I did was try
To be one of you
Just one of you
Just be one of you

I clear the table
Put the light out
I'll be sleeping soon
Join my hands, look out the window
Give thanks to the stars and the moon
Every one of you, one of you
I'm just one of you...
