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
