Returned

Won't you

Drop a hand

For those you know

Life didn't go as planned

Nobody survives this life

Everyone goes out the same

The important part to remember

We all played the same rigged game

So won't you throw out a helping hand

When someone you know is going down

It takes so little to toss them a lifeline

It might be as simple as erasing the frown

Throw them a smile to brighten their day

And remember that everyone stumbles sometime

People can trip and fall as they go along the way

But we need to stop and remember, they commited no crime

Won't you remember what it is like to feel lost and alone

And become someone who uplifted someone today

There's an ease that comes over as you throw them a bone

And realize that they're already faced the price they have to pay

Remember that, and when it's your turn you'll see it all return

For the energy you put into the world from the top

It's something that other people can learn

And the universe won't let it stop

So won't you do something

A small thing that's all

Do something to be

A solution before you fall
