Time will give you truth or fable
On which you can not rely
No else can do it for you
You've gotta make up your own mind
If you find yourself in trouble
You've got to climb out of the well
And if no one comes to bring you to the light
You've gotta help yourself
Friends and foe around your table
They smile and greet you just the same
Pulling you in all directions
Leaving you to find your way
If you find yourself in trouble
You've got to climb out of the well
And if no one comes to bring you to the light
You've gotta help yourself
Nobody's gonna
Take it easy, take it easy on you
You've gotta hold on
Nobody's gonna
Turn the wheel, turn the wheel for you
But you've still gotta make it home
And if no one comes to bring you to the light
You've gotta help yourself
When everyone around you gives up on the fight
You've gotta help yourself
When helping hands disappear into the night
You've gotta help yourself
And if no one comes to bring you to the light
You've gotta help yourself
