Desperate wind's blowing sand on my face
Life's rolling waves daze my aching mind
The more it hurts, the less I understand
Help me sail this boat on the living ocean
Well, you got me whispering a prayer
Got me searching for your halo's burning flame
Lost my way, now I don't know where I stand...
Won't you lead me on, Saint Jude.
Rebel with a cause, you know that's what I am
Dreams in my head and disillusion in my eyes
Be the lighthouse to illuminate my nights
The guiding star shining through the coal-black skies
Well, you got me cryin' out a prayer
Got me looking for your holy beacon's beam now
Lost my way, now I don't know where I stand...
Won't you lead me on, Saint Jude, Saint Jude.
Holy rambler wearin' Jesus on your chest
We've both got a real tough axe to grind
Just as mine, your book was misread
Just like yours, my name was mixed with shame
Now you got me calling out a prayer
Got me longing for your halo's burning flame
Lost my way, now I don't know where I stand...
Won't you lead me on, Saint Jude, oh Saint Jude
Lead me on, Saint Jude, won't you lead me on, Saint Jude.
