Somebody Was Watching

I been shot up and shipped down,
 I've been turned away and turned around,
 Nobody to call my own,
 In this mean old world alone,
 Many, many nights I cried,
 Somebody was all the time,
 Down in my soul I knew,
 Some way I'd get through
 Looking back now I see,
 Somebody was watching over me,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 I've been locked up and locked out,
 I've been used and abused,
 Didn't know if I, was uptown or downtown,
 You know my life was so confused,
 Living in a state of depression,
 Something saved me from my obsession,
 My strength was put to test,
 My weakness put to rest,
 Looking back now I see,
 Somebody was watching over me,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 Somebody was watching,
 Somebody was watching over me,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 Somebody was watching,
 Somebody was watching over me,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 Now my bad time is better than my good time used to be,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 There was a time when peace I could not find,
 Nothing to call my own,
 No job, no car no home,
 Slaving in a one room shack,
 All I had were the clothes on my back,
 Each day my only plan:
 Have a bottle in my hand,
 Looking back now I see,
 Somebody was watching over me,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 Somebody was watching,
 Somebody was watching over me,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 Somebody was watching,
 Somebody was watching over me,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 Now my bad time is better than my good time used to be,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 Now my bad time is better than my good time used to be,
 (Somebody was a-watching),
 (Somebody was a-watching over me)
