Grahame's bandmate Michelle Butters sings lead vocals on this thumping power ballad.
"This song speaks of the struggles we all go through. The lessons we learn and the faithfulness of God when we turn to him for help."

LYRICS
You know that feeling you get
When you're down on your knees
Things go wrong and it's game, set and match
Life is closing in on you,
It's no longer a breeze
Choices made and promises broken
In times of struggle we can pray
Seeking answers should I run or stay?
Caught up playing these games we can not win
You choose to live life for yourself
Alone and lost with no-ones help
Walls closing in, there's no end in sight
CHORUS:
Maybe you should turn to God
And give him all that you've got
Let him take your pain away
Things could turn around in a day
Seeking answers is sometimes hard
Who are we trying to please?
Life's a roller coaster when we battle these stormy seas
Can we find a good direction?
Persistence, patience are not that easy
Sometimes we need a helping hand
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Sometimes the answers that we get
When we're down on your knees
Are not the ones we want to hear
Sometimes we just fear
REPEAT CHORUS
Running further from the truth
Seems easier than following through
Always worried we might offend our friends
REPEAT CHORUS
At the end of the day
When we get down on our knees and pray
The Lord will come to set us free
We must surrender to our God
He is there for our love
Thank you Lord for setting us free
