Help me to help myself 

There are times when I remember 
Being lost and so afraid 
You were always there to guide me 
Through the jungle I had made 

I saw temptation and I needed to be strong 
But you led me by example 
Through a world of right and wrong 

And you know, this aint easy 
Saying what I say, 
I may be right I may be wrong, 
Going my own way 

Help me to help myself to find my own direction 
To make the same mistakes however big or small 
Help me to help myself dont make it easy for me 
As long as youre around to catch me if I fall 
Many times I was in trouble with my back against the 
wall 
But you taught me how to be myself 
Together through it all 

And I know you believed in me 
I needed you too 
I owe you more than I can say 
So Im thanking you 

Help me to help myself to find my own direction 
To make the same mistakes however big or small 
Help me to help myself dont make it easy for me 
As long as youre around to catch me if I fall
