What a time to turn your back on someone
What a day to be without a friend
What a shame when no-one seems to bother
Who will offer shelter to candles in the wind

And it follows we are only helpless children
Ever changing like sunlight through the trees
It’s a long road we must cling to one another
Help yourselves to each other, that’s the way it’s meant to be

And it’s said that life is like a ladder
Just a dream we’re reaching for the stars
Can’t you see how little really matters
We are only searching for what we really are

And it follows we are only helpless children
Ever changing like sunlight through the trees
It’s a long road we must cling to one another
Help yourselves to each other, that’s the way it’s meant to be

It’s a long road we must cling to one another
Help yourselves to each other, that’s the way it’s meant to be
