"Don't Pass Me By" lyrics

I see all the people living and laughing
And I wonder how they found
All of the answers to all of their questions
How they figured their lives out

'Cause one day, it hits you that your life is halfway over
And all you're left with are the pieces of your past

I've been hoping and praying, and looking for answers
And asking, "Please
There's gotta be more to my life than this."
I'm on my knees
Praying, "God, help me please
I don't want life to pass me by."

I feel and excitement deep down inside me
Like a spark that never flamed
Maybe the searching has been the blessing
Maybe I needed time to change

Everyone knows I've had more than my share of bad times
And, yet, I can see the light of grace begin to shine

I've been hoping and praying, and looking for answers
And asking, "Please
There's gotta be more to my life than this."
I'm on my knees
Praying, "God, help me please
I don't want life to pass me by."

And one day, it hits you that your life is halfway over
And all you're left with are the pieces of your past

I've been hoping and praying, and looking for answers
And asking, "Please
There's gotta be more to my life than this."
I'm on my knees
Praying

I've been hoping and praying, and looking for answers
And asking, "Please
There's gotta be more to my life than this."
I'm on my knees
Praying, "God, help me please
I don't want life to pass me by."

Oh, please, life, don't pass me by
