Song Description
- I got to thinking about music on the radio these days and how few songs are written from and for the heart any more; songs that actually help you feel better, even repair your soul in some cases. So, to put it simply, this is a song written to all the other songwriters out there, asking them if any one of them could please write a song that has that power; to help a person in a time of need. Kind of like when you're in the gym doing bench presses and you thought you could do one more rep only to find yourself in a bit of a jam when you can't quite muster the strength to push that barbell up one more time. When that happens, you yell out "a little help!" and hope someone comes quickly to your aide. I'm just looking for someone to write a song that can come to my aid in the same way when I'm feeling a little bummed.

Lyrics
A little help?
All the songs that I've heard of are written
'Bout all kinds of love and stuff but only
One has the kind of thing that can help
Life is kinda all mixed up with every
One trying to fill their cup it keeps me
Safely nowhere near the top of the hill
More and more I need a song that gives me
What I have too little of there must be
Someone who can write it please,
so can you help?
Don't make me ask a thousand times
Don't make me work it out myself
Don't even ask 'cause I won't try
This time I'm the one who needs a little help
A little help?
So I guess my search goes on I'm looking
For an almost perfect song that reaches
Deep and can repair my soul, can you help?
Not a small request I know but give it
Time and it will come to you I know it
Send it on the radio and I'll be here
Don't make me ask a thousand times
Don't make me work it out myself
Don't even ask 'cause I won't try
This time I'm the one who needs a little help
Something that's written from the heart
Something that's written not to sell
Something that's written with the same
kind of passion, I'm talking here about
