Have You Ever

Have you ever been in such a state
Entirely consumed in doubt
On your shoulders too much weight
And seeing no way out
Have you ever reached for a helping hand
And not a soul was there
This was hard to understand
For to me to ask was rare
Lots of hands have reached out to me
I held them everyone
They promised at my side they'd be
They'd see that it got done
Anything at all for me
Just call and they would come
That's not the way it worked at all
I'm out with nothing left
All alone I took the fall
Just me and all my debts
