My Portion Lyrics by I Draw Slow

Turn Your Face To The Sun

2017

When the morning comes and I wake up miles away
Any other day, it's all the same
All the same
With the rising sun there's a hunger born again
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, put out the flame
Put out the flame
And the shortest road to the sunset doesn't turn
It's what I gotta learn, every day
Every day
Just a few more miles to the point of no return
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, the way is plain
The way is plain
[Chorus]
Oh love, you give me what I need
You take like a one-armed bandit
Oooh, be my strength, be my portion
Oh love, you give me what I need
To live by your one commandment
Oh, be my strength be my portion
Be my strength be my portion
[Instrumental]
Take away my pride so I never have to lose
Never gonna lose, I played the game
I played a game
Take away desire so I never have to choose
Oh-oh-oh, lay the blame
Lay the blame
Keep me up all night so I never have to wake
Never gonna break away again
Away again
Give me no advice that I ever have to take
And you're not my friend
No, you're not my friend
[Chorus x2]
Be my strength, be my portion
Be my strength, be my portion
