Help Somebody Lyrics
Maxwell
Lyrics
There's a moving inner peace that I love to see
Gotta raise my soul to tell you how I feel
Gotta listen to the tears that people cry for me
In a world that's so wild fear creeps
'Cause when I get up to hear you tears just fill my eyes
Now I know I got to let the selfishness subside
Tell 'em y'all
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, give a little bit more
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, let 'em know
If you see the future ask it if I'm there
Ask it if I'm there
Ask it to tell you did I ever make a stand
Ask if you may care to mention, did I learn from everything?
And even if it takes a sea of eternity to know
I'll wait a century, a buried mess of bones, help me
Help me to give myself the way that you've given you
Help me to be the helping hand that makes a dream come true
Choir sing
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, give a little bit more
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, let 'em know
If I'm there, tell me if I'm there
Do you see me there?
...
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, give a little bit more
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, let 'em know
If you see the future ask it if I'm there
Ask it if I'm there
