I've been running in circles
I've been playing it safe
I'm avoiding the problem
That I'm to blame
I've been trying to reach you
Without trying at all
I'm hoping you'd find me
And so I called

Father
Father
I need a helping hand
I need a helping hand

Father
Father
I need a helping hand
I need a helping hand

I don't want to need you
Cause when I need you I'll be fine
But I can't fight this feeling
Feeling unsatisfied
I don't want to need you
Oh I just want to know you're there
Oh I need to know that
Some where some one cares

I've been doing it backwards
I've been dong life wrong
I've been shouting the lyrics
To a broken song
Oh I've spit in the face of
The things I've loved
Oh I'm hoping theres grace for
This prodigal son

Father
Father
I need a helping hand
I need a helping hand

Father
Father
I need a helping hand
I need a helping hand

I don't want to need you
Cause when I need you I'll be fine
But I can't fight this feeling
Feeling unsatisfied
I don't want to need you
Oh I just want to know you're there
Oh I need to know that
Some where some one cares

I don't want to need you
Cause when I need you I'll be fine
But I can't fight this feeling
Feeling unsatisfied
I don't want to need you
Oh I just want to know you're there
Oh I need to know that
Some where some one cares

I don't want to need you
Cause when I need you I'll be fine
But I can't fight this feeling
Feeling unsatisfied
I don't want to need you
Oh I just want to know you're there
Oh I need to know that
Some where some one cares
