Well how can I help
What can I do
To get you by
To see you through
Show me a sign
Leave me a clue
'Cause I just don't know
What more I can give
What more I can say
To ease your mind
To soothe your pain
You swim against the tide
You go against the grain
And I just don't know
When you're so far away
Is there a song I can sing for you
Can I shine a light on a different view
Is there a wrong I can right for you
To help bring you back around
Tell me how can I help
What can I do
To get you by
To see you through
Show me a sign
Leave me a clue
'Cause I just don't know
What more I can give
What more I can say
To ease your mind
To soothe your pain
You swim against the tide
You go against the grain
And I just don't know
When you're so far away
Is there a plate I can spin for you
Can I share the load can I help you through
Oh, and is there a weight I can lift for you
To stop life from dragging you down
Well how can I help
What can I do
To get you by
To see you through
Show me a sign
Leave me a clue
I just don't know
What more I can give
What more I can say
To ease your mind
To soothe your pain
You swim against the tide
You go against the grain
And I just don't know
When you're so far away
When you're so far away
When you're so far away
