To Be Forgiven Paroles

suddenly my life is like a river
taking me places I don't want to go
but like all good men who swim too well
it takes all that I have just to cry for help
then that voice in my head
tells me no

I'm going down
won't you help me
save me from myself
I look around for a fantasy
maybe
who can tell?

let me live my life beside the river
take me to places where a child can grow
and then
maybe the boy inside will forsake me
maybe
the child in me I'm going down
and I would beg to be forgiven

if I knew my sin

(George Michael)
