Bread - Make It By Yourself Lyrics
You say youre down and outAnd need some help to get you through each dayWell, heres a thought or twoIve used and like to pass them on your wayI found them lying thereThe answers that you say youre looking forMake what you will of themAnd you can change the way it was beforeYou got to make it by yourselfYou know you got to make it by yourselfIll be your friend and Ill lend a helping handBut you got to try and help yourself before I canI hear you talk of all the happinessAnd emptiness youve knownWell, let me reassure youNever were you really all aloneThey say in quiet desperation many people cannot seeThey cannot see the simple truthThats not the way it has to beYou got to find it for yourselfGod helps the man who helps himself, amenI am your friend and Ill lend a helping handBut you gotta try and help yourself before I canWe got to help each other (each other)You got to help your brother when you canWhen you canNow dont you think that I was preachinIm just reachin out for youcause thats the only wayThat I know how to get the message throughThen you in turn and got to learn and teach itTo somebody whoWho felt the happiness and emptiness the same as you
