Lost my way and fallen by your side
Failed at every twist and turn
I've tried
Gone the way I feared I'd always go
Rags and tears and nothing else
to show
Tell me it's all right
I'm just a failure
Searching for success for
far too long
Tell me it's all right
I'm such a failure
It's all gone wrong
I used to be so sure my time
would come
Have my day and get my good
deeds done a little time in the sun
Yet now it seems the world has
passed me by
There's no more hope and nothing
left to try
Tell me it's all right
I'm just a failure
Searching for success for
far too long
Tell me it's all right
I'm such a failure
It's all gone wrong
Something that I've never
understood
Nothing ever comes of doing good
And God has stood and laughed
and watched me cry
All my life
Tell me it's all right I'm just
a failure
Searching for success for far
too long
Tell me it's all right I'm just
a failure
It's all gone wrong
Tell me it's all right
I'm just a failure
Searching for success for
far too long
Tell me baby time will be my savior
before too long
Lost my way and fallen
by your side
