Patti Smith - Privilege (Set Me Free) Lyrics
I see it all before me:The days of love and torment;The nights of rock-and-roll.I see it all before me.Sometimes my spirits empty;Dont have the will to go on.I wish someone would send meEnergy.Give me something.Give me something to give.Oh, god, give me something:A reason to live.My body is aching.Dont want sympathy.Come on. come and love me.Come on. set me free.Set me free.The lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.He leadeth me beside the still waters.He restoreth my soul.He leadeth me through the path of righteousness for his names sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.Hey, lord, Im waitin for you.Oh, god, Im waitin for you;Waitin to open your ninety-eight woundsAnd be thee, be thee.Lead me, oh, lead me.Leave me something.Leave me something to live.Oh, god, give me something:A reason to live.I dont want no handout;No, not sympathy.Come on. come and love me.Come on. set me free.Set me free.Come on. set me freeSet me free . . .Oh, Im so young, so goddamn young.Oh, Im so young, so goddamn young.Oh, Im so young, so goddamn.Set me free.In the presence of my enemies,Thou anointest my head with oil.My cup runneth over.Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow meAll the days of my life.And I shall dwell in the house of the lord forever.Ah, damn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn.Here I am.
