lyrics

Life is not what it seems.
Some people float along, others live out their dreams.
Reach in your soul.
Those thoughts that awaken, sure you don’t mind
‘Cause you’re whole.

You don’t need no help.
You help yourself.
Take a bigger step.
You help yourself.
Take it all this time.
You help yourself.

Doubt and inaction can kill.
If you don’t believe in you, then no one else will.
Time after time.
You get to the front
And leave the others behind.

You don’t need no help.
You help yourself.
Take a bigger step.
You help yourself.
Take it all this time.
You help yourself.

How do you feel? You feel … you feel … you feel?

Chance plays no part in your game.
You get to the front; you don’t wait until they call out your name.
Time on your side.
Your head held high; the future’s what you decide.

You don’t need no help.
You help yourself.
Take a bigger step.
You help yourself.
Take it all this time.
You help yourself.

How do you feel? You feel … you feel … you feel?
