Help Me To Help Myself

There are times when I remember

Being lost and so afraid

You were always there to guide me

Through the jungle I had made

I saw temptation and I needed to be strong

But you led me by example

Through a world of right and wrong

And you know, this ain't easy

Saying what I say,

I may be right I may be wrong,

Going my own way

Help me to help myself to find my own direction

To make the same mistakes however big or small

Help me to help myself don't make it easy for me

As long as you're around to catch me if I fall

Many times I was in trouble with my back against the wall

But you taught me how to be myself

Together through it all

And I know you believed in me

I needed you too

I owe you more than I can say

So I'm thanking you

Help me to help myself to find my own direction

To make the same mistakes however big or small

Help me to help myself don't make it easy for me

As long as you're around to catch me if I fall
