My family, they don’t hear me, or the cries of pain inside

Ive lost my mind to satan’s kind of power it makes me weak

So help me God from this stronghold,
It seems I cant move on my own
My shady tree has deserted me,

Left in the hot sun to burn a---lone (3rd Time through Repeat)
So help me God from this stronghold,
It seems I cant move on my own

Em A7Sus4 A7 D
Left in the hot sun to burn a---lone
