God Helps Those (Who Help Themselves)

When you're down and you're feeling lonely Look around, you'll find you're not the only one Who's found where smiles should be Stand up, now listen to me If you're blue 'cause somebody kicked you Kick on back and let God be with you He'll always never stop believing He'll be there just to breathe God helps those who help themselves He can lead you through the water But you gotta drink yourself God helps those who help themselves A basic philosophy sent down for you and me A lot of hope and a little patience That's the key to making God's acquaintance It's a sin if you just stop trying Get on up, don't sit there crying Take the tears and your frustration Turn 'em loose, build a new foundation Walk with God and your faith will heal When you call, I know He'll hear you God helps those who help themselves He can lead you through the water But you gotta drink yourself God helps those who help themselves A basic philosophy sent down for you and me When I'm in the face of defeat And my best is not enough I'm gonna try a little bit harder I'm gonna stand a little bit taller I'm gonna search a little bit deeper And I'm gonna reach a little bit higher God helps those who help themselves He can lead you through the water But you gotta drink yourself God helps those who help themselves He can lead you through the water But you gotta drink yourself God helps those who help themselves He can lead you through the water But you gotta drink yourself God helps those who help themselves He can lead you through the water But you gotta drink yourself Help the blind man Help the poor man Help the rich man Help the little man God help you Don't feel sorry for yourself Nobody gonna feel sorry for you A lot of hope A lot of patience A lot of faith A lot of strength A lot of God A lot of God Oh God, God, God Oh yeah Come on Come on
