I Am All I Got

I remember the day

when I cried out for help

no one came running

and that's when I first knew

I am all I got!

Went to the wise man

but no answer he could give

I went to the kind man

he shrugged his shoulders and wept

You are all you got!

I went to the saint

but he was busy praying

I payed a visit to the sinner

but he said "brother, don't even bother"

You are all you got!

I went to see my mother

but she was busy dying

I went to my father's grave

but he was really dust

Yes I m all I got!

So forgive pretty darling

but I m all I got

believe it or not

love will save us not

I am all I got

I am all i got!

There might come a day

when the lord will embrace me

so son get on your knees and pray

I am all you got

but until that day

I am all I got!
