I Can’t Help You

There are many things

That I am capable

But to hold your hand is a crime

When you are able

 

I can cheer you on from the sidewalk

I can be your biggest fan

But if you don’t want to help yourself

I just can’t hold your hand

 

There are times when maybe

I can assist you

I can show you little tips and tricks

Show you anything you want me to

 

I can teach you like a teacher

I can guide you to great things

But if you don’t believe in yourself

My help will all mean not a thing

 

There are many things

That I am capable

But to hold your hand is a crime

When you are able

 

I can’t help you

Unless you help me

And in order to help me

You have to get on your two feet

 

I can cheer you on from the sidewalk

I can be your biggest fan

I can teach you like a teacher

I can guide you to great things

 

But what are my efforts

If you are afraid to stand tall

Just stop being afraid to stand

And I will help you when you fall
