Lyrics
0:10You say you're down and out
0:13And need some help to get you through each day
0:20Well here's a thought or two
0:22I've used and like to pass them on your way
0:30I found them lying there
0:32The answers that you say you're looking for
0:40Make what you will of them
0:42And you can change the way it was before
0:47You got to make it by yourself
0:52You know you got to make it by yourself
0:57I'll be your friend and I'll lend a helping hand
1:02But you got to try and help yourself before I can
1:11I hear you talk of all the happiness
1:14And emptiness you've known
1:20Well let me reassure you
1:22Never were you really all alone
1:30They say in quiet desperation many people cannot see
1:41They cannot see the simple truth
1:43That's not the way it has to be
1:48You got to find it for yourself
1:53God helps the man who helps himself amen
1:57I am your friend and I'll lend a helping hand
2:02But you gotta try and help yourself before I can
2:13We got to help each other (each other)
2:22You got to help your brother when you can
2:30When you can
2:33Now don't you think that I was preachin'
2:36I'm just reachin' out for you
2:43'Cause that's the only way
2:45That I know how to get the message through
2:55Then you in turn and got to learn and teach it
2:58To somebody who
3:04Who felt the happiness and emptiness the same as you
3:11You got to make it by yourself
3:16You know you got to make it by yourself
3:20I'll be your friend and I'll lend a helping hand
3:26But you got to try and help yourself before I can
You say you're down and out And need some help to get you through each day Well here's a thought or two I've used and like to pass them on your way I found them lying there The answers that you say you're looking for Make what you will of them And you can change the way it was before You got to make it by yourself You know you got to make it by yourself I'll be your friend and I'll lend a helping hand But you got to try and help yourself before I can I hear you talk of all the happiness And emptiness you've known Well let me reassure you Never were you really all alone They say in quiet desperation many people cannot see They cannot see the simple truth That's not the way it has to be You got to find it for yourself God helps the man who helps himself amen I am your friend and I'll lend a helping hand But you gotta try and help yourself before I can We got to help each other (each other) You got to help your brother when you can When you can Now don't you think that I was preachin' I'm just reachin' out for you 'Cause that's the only way That I know how to get the message through Then you in turn and got to learn and teach it To somebody who Who felt the happiness and emptiness the same as you You got to make it by yourself You know you got to make it by yourself I'll be your friend and I'll lend a helping hand But you got to try and help yourself before I can
