Lyrics

HELP ME!

Sometimes I wake up at night
When I catch myself dreaming.
With a handful of pictures
Running through my head.

Like somewhere deep down inside me
There?s a voice that is screaming
Run girl run, if you slow down
Life will kill you dead.
It?s like I?m crying Help me!
Lord, can?t somebody help me? .
Help me!


Won?t somebody help me?
Oh, help me.
Just make it through one more day.
It gets so hard to be a man
Sometimes it makes me want to
Cry out in the night!

My mama raised six kids
She was a desperate woman.
She worked from dark til dark
To keep some clothes on our backs.
Her face was worn, but her spirit,
It was super-human.
But sometimes in the night I?d watch her
Walk along the railroad tracks, crying.
Help me!
Lord, can?t somebody help me?
Help me!
Just make it through one more day.
It gets so hard to be a woman,
It makes you want to
Cry out in the night.
Won?t somebody help me?
Oh, help me.



Just read the papers, watch the news
Just look at all that?s around you.
People in all kinds of trouble
Everywhere you see.
HELP ME (CONT?D)

Just want to feed their families
And protect their children.
The truth is they ain?t that much
Different than you and me.
Help me!
To make it through one more day.

It gets so hard to stay alive
Sometimes it makes you want to
Cry out in the night.
Won?t somebody help me? Oh help me
