A Helping Hand

I had set my sail

I'd set my course

I'd said farewell without remorse

Now I've run aground

My anchor's down

And I'm next to nowhere

The world's full of water but I can't go back in

Until I pull myself from under

This wreck that I've been in

The world's full of water but I'm stuck on the sand

I could use a helping hand

I had found my depth

I'd found my speed

I'd found that hope's no luxury

Now my rudder's gone

My compass wrong

And I'm next to nowhere

The world's full of water but I can't jump back in

Until I get myself together

Until I'm strong enough to swim

The world's full of water won't you please understand

I could use a helping hand

The world's full of water and once I go back in

I will brave the waves and weather

I'll hold on tight again

The world's full of water and I'll give it all I am

I just need a helping hand

I could use a helping hand
