You won't catch me wearing no ball and chain
You won't find me riding a runaway train
You won't see me sliding down a slippery slope
'Cause somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
You won't see me creeping 'cause I hold my head high
Don't look for trouble, I just walk on by
I won't be taking on, oh, not more than I can cope
'Cause somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
My life, it used to be a mess
And I was wandering around in the wilderness
It's still a mystery to me, I must confess
That you ever heard my SOS
You won't see me running when it's better to walk
You won't hear me shouting 'cause it's better to talk
You won't find me swinging from the end of a rope
'Cause somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
Yeah, somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
You won't find me chasing an impossible dream
You won't hear me crying with a silent scream
You won't find me freaking when I've run out of dope
'Cause somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
Yeah, somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
Oh yeah, somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
Oh, somehow I've been saved
Rescued by the hands of hope
