Behind The Shades

I was lost—in a world that I never knew
And there was nobody—not a one to see me through
I was so scared for my life—I didn’t know where I belonged
Well, can somebody save me?
You see, I’ve been holdin’ on too long
Just look at my life

Baby’s cryin’
Mother lay dyin’
Brother still drinkin’
I was there thinkin’
Ooh-wee-ooh, Ooh-wee-ooh
Look at how I’m livin’
In and out of prison
Every day sinnin’
Can I be forgivin’?
Ooh-wee-ooh, Ooh-wee-ooh, Ooh-wee-ooh

Behind the shades is all I ever knew
Caught in a maze of shades of black and blue
Still livin’ blind, in the darkness of my mind
I’m all alone, tryin’ to leave this all behind

I know - I know - I know - I know
That there’s a place for me
Just open your arms – your love – your life
Cause there’s a space for me

You came into my life
And filled me with everything you are
You lifted me high where I belong
Up to the highest star
Just look at my life


When I was to blame
And you took away the pain
And you took away the shame
And I’ll never be the same
Ooh-wee-ooh, Ooh-wee-ooh
When I was alone
And I didn’t have a home
And then you came along
And You were there to show me
Ooh-wee-ooh, Ooh-wee-ooh, Ooh-wee-ooh

Behind the shades is all I ever knew
‘Till your love came along—came along and made me new
No longer live in the darkness of my mind
‘Till love came along—came along and made me shine

Changed the way that I’m livin’
No more take and just giving
‘Cause you came along
Came along and made me new

Once was out of my mind
You gave sight to the blind
When you came along
Came along and made me new

Don’t stop ‘till you get enough
Oooh
Don’t stop ‘till you get enough
Oooh, ain’t no maybe

Don’t stop ‘till you get enough
Oooh
Don’t stop ‘till you get enough
Oooh, ain’t no maybe
