Should I feel lost?
Or should I feel found?
What should it be?
Up or down,
Won't yo please help me...
Searching high,
I'm searching low.
Where might it be? A loss for words.
That'll set me free.
That'll set me free

Fadin', oh fadin' away now
Mama, it's been a year to the day.
I'm just fadin', ooh fadin' away (yeah!)
Mama, it's been a year to the day.

You ask for this,
They sell you that.
A better place?
Is where I hope you're at.
Who's gonna live and who's gonna die?
Is it hello or goodbye?
Could you tell me how?
Could you tell me why?

Fadin', oh fadin' away (yeah!)
Mama, it's been a year to the day.
I'm just fadin', yeah fadin' away
Mama, it's been a year to the day.

When the diseases are growing over top of me
Where is it that I go
Running out of time,
Lord, I need to know
Lord, I need to know

Fadin', fadin', fadin away
Mama, it's been a year to the day (2x)

Mama, it's been a year to the day (2x)
