How can I possibly help
When I'm the one so lost?
How can I give advice
When I don't know what I'm doing?
But I give the help
That I wish I had,
I give the advice
That I truly need,
But do I listen to myself?
No--
These words need to come
From another's lips
Before I can hear it
Another must speak
These words of encouragement
That I say so often,
But when I look around
There is no one there,
No one to help me when I fall,
I am alone.

That I say so often,
But when I look around
There is no one there,
No one to help me when I fall,
I am alone.
