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
( * , ** , * , ** )
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
( * , ** )
