On my knees I fall back on God
When stuck in a hole
I fall back on God on my knees
Sliding down a slippery pole
Sweeter My life would be sweeter
And I would get a breather
If I called on Him in peace
Spending more time
More time spent
On my knees

Brilliant, I’ll let you off this time re this
‘And I’d get a breather
If I called on Him in peace’.
If you change the I’d to, ‘I would’, then you will of cracked it. Petty, I know, but that is a very good epanalepsis only that one sentence looks naked.
And I. would get a breather
If I called on Him in peace.
