Lyrics
Have you ever felt so lonely when life is going bad?
Well, no matter what they tell you, you can change the life you've had
Don't think you're a victim, you're the master of your fate
The whole world's not against you, there's no need to be afraid
It all comes round, it all comes round
Though sometimes things don't go the way you planned
It all comes down to doing what you can
And it don't hurt to lend a helping hand
Watch the ripples on the water from the first stone that is thrown
Then give yourself no quarter, 'cause the hand used was your own
So put away your sorrow, your envy, and your pride
And be the one who'll never pass by on the other side
It all comes round, it all comes round
Though sometimes things don't go the way you planned
It all comes down to doing what you can
And it don't hurt to lend a helping hand
Treat your neighbour kindly, or reap just what you sow
And evil like a cancer does, will eat away your soul
So break out of the cycle, yeah, that should be your aim
And if we don't change our future, then there's no one left to blame
It all comes round, it all comes round
Though sometimes things don't go the way you planned
It all comes down to doing what you can
And it don't hurt to lend a helping hand
Don't let good intentions run into the sand
Someday you might need a helping hand
