Help Yourself
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought I could turn things around
And show you something that was new
But all I got was disappointment
I was left without a clue
But you can never change
You just keep on being you
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself
And as the world grows dark beneath the setting Sun
I think about you
And all the plans that we'd begun
But never finished, seem to turn and run
But you can never change
You just keep on being you
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself
But you can never change
You just keep on being you
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself
And as the world grows bright beneath the rising Sun
I think about you
And all the things we never did 'cause we forgot
We ever wanted to
But you can never change
You just keep on being you
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself (help yourself)
You got to help yourself
