Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been shot up and shipped out
I've been turned away and turned around
Nobody to call my own
In this mean old world alone
Many, many nights I cried
Somebody was on my side
Down in my soul I knew
Some way that I'd get through
[Verse 2]
Looking back now I see
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Well, I've been locked up and locked out
I've been used and abused
Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown
You know my life was so confused
I've lived in a state of depression
Something saved me from my obsession
My strength was put to the test
My weakness put to rest
[Verse 3]
Looking back now I see
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Now my bad times is better than my good times used to be
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
[Verse 4]
Now, there was a time when
Peace I could not find
Nothing to call my own
No job, no car, no home
Slaving in a one-room shack
All I had were the clothes on my back
Each day my only plan
Had a bottle in my hand
[Verse 5]
Looking back now I see
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Now my bad times is better than my good times used to be
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
Somebody was watching
