Lyrics for background vocals on Chorus 3:

    I never thought, I needed help before.
    I thought I could do things by myself.
    Now I know I just can't take it, anymore.
    So with a humble heart, on bended knee,
    I'm begging you please, help me.

Lyrics for verse, for reference:

    Lord, help me walk, another mile, just one more mile,

    I'm tired of walkin' all alone.

    And Lord, help me smile, another smile, just one more smile.

    'cause I can't make it on my own.
