You got to help yourself
Someone can offer a tree limb
But you reach out with your phantom limb
You got to help yourself
You are on desert island
But your brain is a desert island
You can release the help flare
But you choose to sit and pout
You got to help yourself
You ask questions
But your life is filled with answers
But you don’t believe any one of them
You got to help yourself
People come and go out of your life
More will come and go
Telling you the same thing
You got to help yourself
It’s time to grow courage
Let go of regret, guilt and pain of your past
Because it’s all a part of your past
It’s time to grow a new arm limb
You got to help yourself
